Emerging report reaching US on Saturday, revealed that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, are working round the clock to ensure that the scenario that played out in 2015, leading to the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President, will not repeat itself in 2019.
WE exclusively gathered that the APC has concluded arrangements to ensure that the current Senate Majority Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan, representing Yobe North Senatorial District, emerges as the Senate President, in 2019.
“We have concluded plans that Senator Ahmad Lawan will become the Senate President in 2019, not Saraki. Remember that Senator Ahmed Lawan was the choice of the APC in 2015, before Saraki outsmarted us. We cannot be fooled again. I can authoritatively tell you that Saraki is still eyeing the Senate Presidency. But we will stop him”, the source said.
WE recalls that in 2015, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senators had agreed to work for Saraki’s emergency as Senate President.
The then National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, had also issued a statement on the day of the inauguration, to support Senator Bukola Saraki.
During the inauguration, the Clerk of National Assembly, Salisu Maikasuwa, sought for the nomination of a candidate; Senator Sani Yerima rose up to nominate Senator Saraki, which was seconded by Senator Dino Melaye.
After Saraki;s nomination, there was no other nomination, a development which cleared the coast for Senator Saraki.
When Saraki was nominated, only 57 Senators, mostly PDP and other members of the like mind Senators were on the floor of the Senate; and having been duly nominated with no other nominations, the Clerk of the National Assembly declared Senator Bukola Saraki as President of the Senate.
He was elected unopposed by 57 Senators that were present at plenary on the said day.
Also speaking, the APC source said that the event that happened in 2015 will not be allowed in 2019, because the ruling party has learnt its lesson.
“We have endorsed Ahmad Lawan for 2019 Senate Presidency. This time around, it will work out. He remains our only choice”, the source noted.
