Senator Yahaya Abdullahi, Chairman, Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organisation, has assured that Senator Ahmad Lawan will emerge the President of the Senate in the 9th National Assembly.
Abdullahi, (APC-Kebbi) told NAN in Abuja that the group was working hard to prevent loose ends that might affect Lawan’s emergence.
He said the group was impressed with positive responses from senators-elect so far, adding that they were just waiting for the appointed date.
“We are sure we will have the day by the grace of God and support of majority of our colleagues.
“So far, we are happy and encouraged by the support we have received from our colleagues.
“They have shown confidence in Sen. Ahmed Lawan’s capacity to deliver and unite the Senate.
“We repose confidence in the capacity of Sen. Ahmad Lawan to steer the ship.’’
On meeting with Sen. Ali Ndume and other contenders, the lawmaker said Lawan was engaging with them.
He, however, dismissed insinuations that Lawan’s group was at daggers drawn with other contenders, pointing out that they were friends and not enemies.
“They are our colleagues. At least for me, I have spent at least four years with them and they are highly respected colleagues of mine.
“This contest is not between enemies, it is between friends and I assure that going forward, all these issues will be resolved.
“In fact, recently we were all present at the wedding of Sen. Danjuma Goje’s daughter, so, I feel people are only exaggerating what is happening in the build up to the election’’, Abdullahi said.
