Two frontline candidates for the
office of Senate President, Ahmed Lawan from Yobe State and Danjuma Goje from
Gombe State, are currently meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in his
office.
The two senators arrived the
Presidential villa together some minutes after 11 a.m. and went straight to Mr
Buhari’s office.
They came in a few minutes after
Nasir El-Rufai, governor of Kaduna State, arrived the villa and headed to the
office of the president.
The lawmakers in the upper
chamber are billed to elect a successor to Senate President Bukola Saraki on
June 11.
The governing All Progressives
Congress (APC) had earlier told its elected senators that it is expecting them
to elect Mr Lawan as the Senate President.
Reports, however, suggest that Mr
Goje may emerge because he enjoys the support of some APC senators and members
of the opposition.
Mr Lawan is the Senate leader
while Mr Goje is the chairman, committee on appropriations.
