The opposition says it is
anticipating the defection of the senator representing Kogi west who’s no
longer comfortable among his own.
Melaye caused a scene on
Wednesday when he resumed at senate plenary after his ordeal with the police.
Rather than sit among his
colleagues in the APC, he opted to pitch his tent with PDP senators.
Addressing Senate President
Bukola Saraki, he said: “Mr President I want to seek your indulgence you will
call in the sergeant-at-arms to look for a comfortable seat for me on this side
of the divide I am no longer comfortable sitting here (on his seat).
“The national chairman of PDP and
the executive of the PDP in Kogi state I salute you. I thank Nigerians for
their support. The battle to salvage this country from financial scavengers and
economic cankerworms, to me, is a battle of no retreat, no surrender.”
Sensing an opening, Kola
Ologbondiyan, spokesman of the PDP, said the party awaits Melaye’s “final
porting”.
“This morning, senator Melaye
crossed the aisle of the Red Chamber to the “comfortable” and “people-oriented”
PDP side,” he tweeted.
“As a party, we welcome him and
awaits his final porting to the peoples’ party.”
