The Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan,
says his ambition to become President of the Senate in the 9th Assembly is a
product of deep thinking by his fellow senators-elect.
Lawan made the disclosure, on
Thursday, when he appeared on News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja.
“This project is a product of
deep thinking by my colleagues, senators-elect.
“Some of our colleagues decided
right after the Presidential and National Assembly elections to consider the
possibility for us to run for the office of the senate president given our
history and experience.
The lawmaker, who represents Yobe
North Senatorial District on the platform of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), said he had the requisite experience to deliver in the leadership of the
NASS.
“One crucial thing is that we
have the experience to deliver in the leadership of the national assembly,
haven served in the national assembly for almost 20 years in both chambers.
“I served very closely with most
members in the house at that time and most senators on the senate side.
“I would have had a lot of
engagements with my colleagues, tapped from their wealth of experiences.
“I have learnt a lot of things
from both leaders of the NASS whom I served with and members that I also served
with.
“So, we have what it takes and of
course, that helps us in pushing the agenda of ensuring that the national
assembly works for Nigerians,” he said.
