Nigerians react to Saraki's defection from APC

The news that Senate President Bukola Saraki has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has sent tongues wagging.

Saraki, who served his two terms as governor under PDP, said he was forced out of the ruling party.

While some praised him for his action, others claim he betrayed the party. Here are some reactions.

.@N_Wali01

Oshiomole retired the Edo Mafia of Anenih and the Igbenidion family from politics. A massive feat. Now he'll lead APC to retire Obasanjo, the Saraki Kwara dynasty, Atiku, Lamido and a host of others in the federal level.

I make a prediction that both Bukola Saraki and his Governor will join our great party, @OfficialPDPNig, either today or before this week is over. I also make another prediction that many other APC members will soon be leaving the sinking APC ship. Mark my words!

By the way, get your facts right. A lot of APC members are being prosecuted and being investigated too. Also read the atrocities ortom commitee before you come blabbing. Some things no matter how loud mouthed we are, are beyond us.

Mu'awiyyah Yusuf Muye@MP_Muye

Saraki a senior member of APC gets prosecuted, you say witchhunt, you even jubilate when he was acquitted just because you hate Buhari. Your hatred will consume you.

ADEKUNLE@adekunleth

Not sure this timing is wise.

Depending on how desperate APC feels, all they have to do is approach Court to activate the judgement of the Supreme Court & declare Saraki's Senate vacant (along with several NASS guys)

And February is too far to delay the matter till.
