Two senators, Matthew Urhoghide (Edo South) and Patrick Akinyelure (Ondo Central) of the Peoples Democratic Party have announced their resignations from the party.
Their resignations were contained in separate letters to the Senate and read by the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, who presided over the plenary on Wednesday.
Messrs Urhoghide and Akinyelure were silent on the party they are defecting to but the deputy senate president who read the letters, urged them to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
