Mohammed Sani Musa, senator representing Niger east, has
distanced himself from an alleged plot that he and some senators-elect are
working to return Ahmad Lawan as president of the 10th senate.
In a statement on Monday, Musa, who is vying to be deputy
senate president, said the report of the alleged plot is an attempt to cause
disaffection between All Progressives Congress (APC) and Bola Tinubu,
president-elect.
The senator said the claim is “a figment of the imagination
of the hatched rumour mongers”, adding that he stands by the endorsement of his
colleagues from the north-central who want to be deputy senate president.
“I will not do anything contrary to the position of my
colleagues which had been sanctioned and approved by the north-central
governors,” he said.
“There was no meeting
anywhere, where there was an agreement between me and other senators-elect to
support the outgoing senate president and senator-elect, Osita Izunaso, to
emerge senate president and deputy senate president of the incoming 10th senate
presidency.”
The ruling party has since nominated Godswill Akpabio, a
former minister of Niger Delta affairs, and Barau Jibrin, a senator
representing Kano north, as president and deputy of the senate respectively.
However, some of those seeking leadership positions in the
10th assembly have kicked against the arrangement, arguing that they were not
consulted.
