Ahead of the inauguration of the 9th National Assembly members, a group working hard to ensure that the present Senate Leader and senator-elect for Yobe North, Ahmed Lawan, becomes the president of the upper house and chairman of the National Assembly has emerged.
APC won a commanding majority in the 9th Senate that will be inaugurated on June 9, 2019 and the battle for who becomes the chairman of the Senate president and the speaker of the House of Representatives is gathering momentum. “We need the cooperation and support of other groups. I always believe that if we should work with the executive well, first, we must have unity.”
“We will work to ensure we attain the desired equity and fairness. I am sure that once we unite around national interest, we will contribute to national governance better,” Lawan, who will be the most ranked legislator in the 9th Assembly, said. The current Senate leader added that he was putting himself forward for the Senate top job after consulting with his colleagues from various political parties.
