Dino Melaye, the Senator
representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, on Wednesday told the new
Senate President, Ahmed Lawan what to do for Nigeria.
He charged Lawan to make Nigeria
more important than his party – the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Melaye made the call while
congratulating Lawan on his emergence as the Senate President of the 9th
Assembly.
In a tweet, Melaye wrote:
“Congratulations once again Senator Ahmed Lawal. Make Nigeria more important
and above APC.”
Lawan, the Senator representing
Yobe North had emerged Senate President yesterday after defeating his rival,
Senator Ali Ndume.
The Yobe lawmaker was declared
winner of the election to the office of the Senate Presidency of the 9th
National Assembly after he polled the highest number of votes.
This followed a hitch-free
election on Tuesday at the inauguration of the 9th National Assembly.
The election, which was presided
by Mohammed Ataba-Omolori, saw the Yobe Senator scoring 79 votes after ballots
sorting.
