The chairman, Senate Committee on
Appropriations, Danjuma Goje, has endorsed Ahmed Lawan to emerge as the next
Senate President.
The endorsement, which took place
on Thursday, followed a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in his office
at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Speaking with State House
reporters after the meeting, Mr Goje said he decided to endorse Mr Lawan
despite the widespread calls for him to run for the office of Senate President
because he had been asked to do so by Mr Buhari.
He said it is also to respect the
wish of his party and to enhance unity in the party.
The meeting was brokered by
Kaduna State governor, Nasir El Rufai, who was also present, alongside the
senator representing Kaduna central, Uba Sani.
