A member of the National Assembly, Senator Sabi Abdullahi , has said that at no time did the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress impose the Senate Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan, on the APC Senators-elect as the Senate President of the 9th National Assembly.
Abdullahi, who is Chairman of Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, told reporters in Abuja on Wednesday that the former Senate Leader, Senator Ali Ndume, actually lied by saying Lawan was imposed on APC Senators-elect by the party leadership at a dinner hosted by President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday evening.
The Senator, who is the spokesman of Ahmad Lawan for 9th Senate President group, declared “it is not good for people to peddle lies and being economical with the truth”. According to him, “what actually transpired at the dinner attended by the party’s national working committee members including governors of Kebbi and Oyo states was that the party introduced Lawan and canvassed support for him to emerge as next Senate President.
“The brief introduction of Lawan was followed by instantaneous and spontaneous applause from most of the Senators-elect present. So where is the imposition?”
You’re senate leader by God grace
You are senate leader by God grace.
who is lying between two of u?
These guys better resolve whatever issue they have and take a position as a party.We do not want a repeat of the treachery witnessed during the 8th Senate
When he said the President , oshiomole told him to go ahead.. I wondered if that wasn't unconstitutional as he claimed in the Lawan endorsement. Oh well na still our man. No hard feelings ..na fawa dem dey fight for naa
Who lied? You or Ndume?
Ok
What I find very funny is for one to assume he can assemble 109 independent senators and just appoint a 'monitor' for them. The fact is, PDP is the game changer.
Ndume who aided & abated with Saraki when he betrayed his party in 2015, is at it again. He shamelessly declared his interest in SP. I beg, it is Ahmed Lawan all the way, pls.
To endorse is different from to impose.
I thought all our politicians are liars.
Here they go again, a house divided against itself will never stand!
