Saraki, who escaped a police
cordon to oversee Tuesday plenary, is widely expected to leave the ruling
party.
The Senate President read out the
names of 15 Senators who had cross-carpeted to the PDP, but remained silent on
his position.
The Senators who have defected
are: Sen. Tejouso Lanre, Sen. Shaaba Lafiaji, Sen. Gemade Barnabas, Sen. Dino
Melaye, Sen. Shittu Ubali, Sen. Rafiu Ibrahim, Sen. Isa Misau, Sen. Suleiman
Hunkuyi, Sen. Monsurat Sunmunu, Sen. Danbaba Abdullahi, Sen. Nafada Usman, Sen.
Suleiman Nazif, Sen. Rafiu Kwankwaso and Sen. Abdul-Azeez Murtala Nyako.
This effectively means PDP has 64
lawmakers in the Senate, while APC has 45.
Saraki is now the only Senator
from Kwara state still officially under the APC.
The Senate has been adjourned
until September 26.
