ADC Secures Senate Minority Whip Role Amid Party Realignments

Tony Nwoye of the African Democratic Congress has been appointed Senate Minority Whip after Osita Ngwu’s defection to the All Progressives Congress. The change was formalized by a letter from the Senate Minority Caucus and announced on the floor by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. With the ADC now holding nine opposition seats to the PDP’s five, analysts say the party should also claim the Minority Leader position. Despite this, Abba Moro of the PDP remains in that role, raising questions about the caucus’s next steps. The session also saw defections from PDP and SDP to the APC by senators from Gombe South and Nasarawa West. These shifts underscore ongoing instability among opposition ranks and may reshape Senate leadership ahead of upcoming legislative and electoral events.
