Ahmad Lawan, a senator representing Yobe central, has emerged as the “consensus candidate” of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for senate president of the 8th national assembly, according to Barnabas Ge‎made. Also, George Akume (Benue) is the “consensus candidate” for deputy senate president. Ge‎made, a serving senator and senator-elect, made the announcement at the two-day retreat for APC senators-elect in Abuja on Saturday. His address was titled: “Resolution of APC senators and senators-elect after a two-day retreat.” “We, the Senate Unity Forum comprising senators-elect from various zones of Nigeria, have met, held extensive discussions and resolved to support senator Ahmed Lawan as senate president and senator George Akume as deputy senate president of the 8th senate,” Gemade said. “Kindly take this to be our collective decision in the best interest of our party, APC, and our dear nation, Nigeria.” However, an aspirant, Bukola Saraki, from Kwara state, has denied that a consensus candidate has been picked by the party through his twitter @bokulosaraki The rumour going around about a consensus candidate for the position of Senate President and Deputy Senate President is false. — Bukola Saraki (APC) (@bukolasaraki) May 23, 2015
