Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmad
Ibrahim Lawan has stated that his leadership as Nigeria’s ninth Senate
President was not for personal reasons.
Speaking at a briefing in Abuja
on Wednesday, Lawan submitted that working for the success of the office of the
Senate President was more important than occupying the office because of its
paraphernalia.
He said that the election that
brought him into office as the Senate President cut across different political
lines, noting that the Senate under his leadership would not discriminate
against any one because of party leaning.
“It’s one thing to be the Senate
President and National Chairman of the National Assembly, it’s another thing to
work and succeed. Probably, that is the most difficult challenge and I want to
invite and urge you to join us in our quest for nation building.”
“Our leadership of the National
Assembly is not for personal reasons.”
“I believe that our country needs
us. They need all hand on deck to move forward and that means that the
lawmakers must be proactive to perform their statutory responsibility.”
We are not going to be partisan
because it is important to us to know that our elections into the office of the
Senate President and Deputy Senate President clearly show bipartisan.
“We are going to seize this
opportunity to work together cohesively in the interest of the nation.”
He commended Senate Press Corps
for exhibiting utmost level of professionalism during and after election of
principal officers of the National Assembly that led to his emergence as Senate
President.”
