Senate President Ahmad Lawan says opposition parties are
“probably” disunited because they lack a father figure like President Muhammadu
Buhari.
The senate president described Buhari as a father that
ensures disagreements are settled among party members, and that everybody
remains united.
Lawan spoke on Thursday after the leadership of the national
assembly met with the president ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
national convention.
The senate president said Buhari emphasised the need for
members of the ruling party to be united ahead of the exercise.
He said the party is committed to ensuring that the APC has
a successful and peaceful convention.
“I want to say that this meeting with Mr President has given
us more energy. We believe that there is a father, at least in our party, there
is a president who will ensure that once there are disagreements he is able to
call everybody to order and ensure that the family continues to remain united
and that is what we have been able to achieve over the years,” Lawan said.
“Well, I don’t want to be very partisan. But of course, when
you have a father in the family and a mother, then you’re likely to have a
stable family. And when you have only one or none in the family, you are not
likely to be successful, the family is likely to be disunited, and that is what
other political parties probably are facing.
“And I want to add here, finally, to say that we are
committed to ensuring that this political party does not only have a successful
convention but a very successful, peaceful, and safe electioneering campaign
during 2022/2023 general campaigns and the general elections, by the grace of
God.
“We’ll see Nigerians voting once again for APC because we
have so far done so much in the areas that matter for the people of this
country. But that is not to say that we are not facing some challenges we are,
but we are squaring up to ensure that we deal with those challenges.”
