Senator Ahmad Lawan of the All Progressives Congress (APC) representing Yobe North, is reaching out to all senators-elect irrespective of party affiliation, to ensure he emerges the next Senate Leader.
In his bid not to suffer any disappointment like he did in 2015, Senator Lawan revealed while answering questions fielded by pressmen on Monday in Abuja during the orientation Programme for Senators- Elect and Members of the House of Representatives-elect, that he was reaching out to Senators of all parties.
He said; “We are reaching to all our colleagues, regardless of their political persuasions after all we are supposed to work together. It is not just going to be a Senate for only the APC members. It is a Senate that will consist of the APC, PDP, and YPP.
“Therefore, we need everybody to support the genuine and laudable course of making Nigeria better. I will ensure that our administration is able to deliver laudable projects for Nigerians and the best way to achieve this is for all of us to work together.”
The comments of the Senator Lawan who is highly favoured by President Muhammadu Buhari and most APC Governors, comes ahead of the inauguration of the 9th National Assembly and the emergence of the Presiding officers.
