A PDP Senator from Gombe State, Joshua Lidani, has joined the APC. Sen. Lidani’s defection was announced yesterday on the floor of the Senate by Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan (APC, Yobe).
After the announcement, APC senators broke into a rapturous applause as they welcomed Lidani into their fold.
Sen. Lawan remarked that, “He should be given a befitting seat because he’s a ranking senator.”
Lidani, a former Deputy Governor of Gombe State, represents Gombe South and was elected on the platform of PDP in 2015.
He lost his re-election bid to a Member of the House of Representatives, Binta Bello, who won the PDP ticket to contest for the senatorial district.
