Ahmad-Lawan

The Senate President, Dr Ahmad Lawan, one of the presidential aspirants of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has promised to reform the educational system and grow a virile economy if he is elected in 2023 general elections.

He said this at the Government House in Minna on Monday, May 23, while addressing delegates and stakeholders of APC ahead of the party primaries coming on May 30.

Lawan said that he was the most experienced candidate among other presidential aspirants having served in the National Assembly for long.

ā€œI am running for president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because I believe in myself, I believe the mandate is service, having served in the senate since 1999 and have been working with the president of the country.

ā€œI am experienced enough, I have what it takes to be president after president Buhariā€™s tenure, I am 63 yearsā€, he said.

He explained that his achievements as the senate president as well as his relationship with his colleague were evident that he would lead the country on a greater path.

In the last three years that I have been the senate president, I have been able to work very well with my colleagues, made the senate very peaceful and cooperative.

ā€œIt is that kind of stability, peace, and unity that I want to bring to the Villa in 2023.

ā€œI want to see a situation where citizens who give information are protected and traditional institutions play a role in the security of the country, that will be my priority if elected,ā€ he added.

Gov. Abubakar Sani-Bello of Niger told the delegates that the senate president had laid down his mandate for them to consider giving him their support.

He described the senate president as a record-breaker having served in the National Assembly from 1999 to date.

Also, Mr Haliru Jikantoro, the Chairman of APC in Niger, told the senate president that Niger ā€œis an APC stateā€, hence he should relax and be assured that APC is one big family in the state.
