Senate Presidency: No Problem With Lawan Begging PDP Senators For Votes - APC

By -
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday said it has no problem with Ahmad Lawan, its choice for the position of Senate President, meeting with relevant stakeholders in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to canvass for votes.

Despite the threat by Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of APC, that it will have nothing to do with the PDP because the APC is the majority in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, Lawan was reported to have met with some PDP senators and governors, soliciting their support for the number three position.

However, speaking in a chat with INDEPENDENT, Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, said the party has no problem with Lawan meeting with relevant stakeholders in the PDP to canvass for votes.

According to him, it won’t be a bad thing if Lawan can also get votes from PDP senators on the day of election.

He said the party is confident that no matter what happens, the interest of the APC is paramount on Lawan’s mind wherever he finds himself.

“Does he not have a right to campaign for the position of Senate Presidency? It doesn’t matter if he reaches out to PDP. If there will be votes from PDP, it is good.

“Part of the reason why he was chosen by the party is because he has the capacity to reach out across the divide.

“So, we don’t have any problem with him relating with anybody. We have absolute confidence that wherever he is, the interest of the party is uppermost on his mind; and that is the most important thing,” he said.

BUHARI AND 2019 ELECTION By: Taiye Temitope Abdulrasheed (#Rasbom)  Department of Agriculture. University of Ilorin. Harbdulrasheed@gmail.com Since the release of the 2019 presidential election result, we have seen numerous ethnic/tribal comments as to why he should or shouldn't have emerge. With 4 points I will like to inform us why His emergence isn't a surprise to me in anyway. 1. Northern effect: We have seen comments from our social media activists and politicians calling the northerners names for the emergence of President Buhari, but have we take it upon ourselves to consider why this people go back home to support Buhari?. Over the years, one thing I have learnt from the Hausa and Fulani's is the urge to always go back to there various homes to vote. No true northerners will because of his/her business stay back in the southern part of the country when it is election time but see we the southerners, we will always want to stay back in the north during ele

Dr. Tejidini clears the air as he states the reason why he defected to APC. As a result of all these political imbroglio which have caused alot of uproar in the state and beyond, I think it is much expedient for me to clear the air on the matter. Firstly,most people are oblivion of the fact,the relationship between me and Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman' family. For record purpose, am from Idigba in Adewole ward where Abdulrahman came from, he is not just only my kinsman but my family. Idigba has a place is synonymous with unity and togetherness which shows that what affects one affects all. In  2014, when Abdulrahman came out for Senate against Senator Saraki, despite that we were not in the same camp, yet I mobilised people to vote for him because anything that has to do with Ilorin and my family has always been my priority. After 2015 election that was won by Governor Ahmed against Senator Ajibola. Dr Bukola Saraki contested for the position of the Senate President, and the conte
