The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has removed a Senator representing Taraba Central in the Senate, Emmanuel Bwacha as the Deputy Minority leader.
Recall that Bwacha announced his defection from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on February 3rd after a visit to the Presidential Villa.
However, a Senator representing Taraba North, Shuaibu Isa Lau has been nominated as Bwacha’s replacement by the PDP.
This was announced in a letter addressed to the Senate by the PDP chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.
“Following the defection of Senator Emmanuel Bwacha to the ruling APC, the PDP Senate caucus has nominated as his replacement, Senator Shuaibu Isa Lau.
“Senator Lau is from Taraba State, the North-East geo-political zone of the country, where the position has been zoned.
“The PDP Senate caucus has duly informed the National Headquarters of the party, in view of which we so communicate to you.
“Thank you and accept the assurances of our highest regards,” the letter read in part.
