The news of Senate President Bukola Saraki’s defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has kept 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, other said he betrayed the party. Here are some reactions.
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!

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.

Today, I am excited to welcome home to the @OfficialPDPNig, the very sagacious and excellent leader and president of the @NGRSenate, Distinguished Sen. @bukolasaraki. The @APCNigeria failed at putting you down, and inadvertently succeeded in making you stronger. Welcome home 🙂 pic.twitter.com/7ku1zeZRNP

Saraki has cost us a lot. It’s our fault though but he has cost us as a nation, as a party a whole lot in this change agenda. Allah ya isa

Senate President Bukola Saraki did not defect today. He did since 2015. And should PDP really rejoice? There is no betrayal in politics sha. Let's see the strategic reaction of the All Peoples Congress.

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. https://t.co/THpckxDnZn
