The All Progressives Congress on Saturday announced Senator Ahmed Lawan and Senator George Akume as sole candidates for the position of President and Deputy Senate President of the 8 Senate respectively.

This followed a primary election conducted by the National Working Committee of the APC at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

National Secretary of the Party, Mala Buni, who served as returning officer announced that 33 Senators were accredited to vote after which Lawan got 32 votes and one vote was declared invalid.

Buni said, “By the powers conferred on me by the NWC of the APC as the Chief Returning Officer of this election after having certified that Dr. Ahmed Lawan has fulfilled all the requirements of the party, he is hereby nominated as the sole candidate of the party for the position of Senate President of the 8th Senate.”

A similar procedure was adopted in the election of Akume. Akume got 32 out of the 33 votes. In his acceptance speech, Lawan said while he was grateful for the confidence reposed in him by the party and his colleagues, he was saddened that his colleagues “in the other camp” did not participate in the process.

He pleaded with the NWC to assist him in winning over all other senators in the National Assembly because he would require their support not only to win on Tuesday but also to provide leadership at the legislative arm of the government.

its clear that lawan is losing, even from his speech he just analyse his failure. Saraki just need to take the part of Hon Dagara by appointing either Eke Ekweremadu or James Manager as Deputy for him to be 100% sure of victory.

Lawan out of 59 senator you got only 32, even one man inside your camp refuse to vote for you.

PDP please stay close

too bad

APC showing their true color

Everything is possible here in Nigeria

APC leadership didn't handle dis principal office issue very well...

Even if Gbajabiamila emerge on tuesday as speaker, I doubt if Lawan/Akume will emerge...sometin telling me Saraki will emerge and if Saraki emerge,He will show some of dis party official some pepper... Finger cross, let's see wat happen in both chamber on tuesday

Saraki will woo the PDP senators and galvanize his camp, but I'm trusting the party leadership to consolidate on the results of the primary election and make efforts to placate the aggrieved. This effectively validates Gbaja's emergence as Speaker as well. Congratulations Senator Lawan.

PDP are Waiting to reap from this.

These men will never change, rigging even in their own inner carcus, I wonder where the CHANGE they promised will come out from. You guys should continue rigging until you rig away your generations.

All I know is that come Tuesday, we are going to have a new senate president and a new speaker. All these drama always happen prior to the inauguration of any new assembly. Ain't gonna loose sleep over this.
