The Bade Emirate in Yobe, on
Saturday appealed to Senators Ali Ndume and Danjuma Goje, both of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to step down for Sen. Ahmad Lawan in the contest
for the seat of the Senate President.
The duo of Alhaji Mamman Suleiman
and Alhaji Mohammed Gagiyo, who are both prominent title holders in the emirate
made the call while speaking with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in separate
interviews.
They said the recent endorsement
of Lawan by the national leadership of the APC was in the interest of the North
East and the entire country.
Suleiman said: “as compatriots of
the region, we expect the two senators to support the senate leader following
his endorsement by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Nigeria in the last four years
had suffered from unnecessary political conflicts between the executive and
National Assembly which must not be repeated in the ninth assembly’’.
The two king makers of the
emirate, therefore, urged all APC senators to remain united, adding that they
must try and subsume their personal interests for the peace and stability of
the assembly.
Gagiyo, also said Lawan’s
experience as the senate leader made him more prepared and qualified for the
office.
“As a region, we should exhibit
the spirit of unity we are known for by supporting Lawan to succeed.
“The people of Bade Emirate are
solidly behind the Senate Leader, for Senate President and, we call on our
brothers, Ndume and Goje to step down for him forthwith, ’’ he said.
