Senate Presidency: ‘Count us out of allege use of EFCC to harass Senators’

operatives to harass and intimidate senators and top officials of the National Assembly over election of Senate President.

Spokesman of Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organisation, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, who spoke on the issue, said that they have no hand whatsoever in the allegation that EFCC is being used to harass senators to change the rule for election of presiding officers. Abdullahi who said that their preoccupation is to deliver Lawan on the day of inauguration insisted that allegation of use of EFCC to harass senators is baseless and unfounded.

“We have no reason to harass anyone or do anything to scuttle the inauguration. We are solidly on ground and working round the clock to deliver our candidate on the day of inauguration. This is our preoccupation and whatever you have been told is not true.
