Former Senate President Senator Ahmed Lawan, APC, Yobe North, has said that he has no plans to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Senator Lawan noted that he is not in any way set to leave
the ruling party and said that he remains committed to the APC.
The former President of the Senate noted that he continues
to be a steadfast and loyal member of the ruling party, a party he has proudly
associated with and contributed to since its formation. He added that he will
remain a key stakeholder in the APC and will continue to work with the party
and the government to ensure the success of their collective goals.
A statement on Sunday by Lawan’s Media Adviser, Ezrel Tabiowo,
read, “The attention of the Office of Senator Ahmad Lawan, the President of the
9th Senate and Distinguished Senator representing Yobe North Senatorial
District, has been drawn to misleading reports and posters circulating in some
quarters, insinuating that he is set to leave the All Progressives Congress
(APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
“We wish to categorically state that these reports are
entirely false, baseless, and without merit. Senator Ahmad Lawan remains a
steadfast and loyal member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a party he
has proudly associated with and contributed to since its formation. He remains
a key stakeholder in the APC and will continue to work with the party and the
government to ensure the success of their collective goals.
“For the record, throughout his illustrious political career
spanning twenty-five years as a member of the National Assembly, Senator Ahmad
Lawan is one of Nigeria’s few politicians with no defection record since
inception. In 1999, he was elected into the House of Representatives and
transitioned to the Senate in 2007, on the All People’s Party (APP) platform,
later renamed ‘All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP)’. The ANPP was among the three
minority parties that merged to birth the All Progressives Congress on 6th
February 2013.
“Senator Lawan is a firm believer in the vision and
principles of the APC, and he continues to work tirelessly with other party
leaders and members to strengthen the party and advance its agenda for the
betterment of our nation.
“Senator Lawan reiterates his full support for Governor Mai
Mala Buni of Yobe State in his commendable efforts to deliver good governance
and improve the lives of the people of Yobe State. He commends Governor Buni’s
leadership and remains committed to working with him to achieve the shared
vision of a prosperous Yobe State.
“Furthermore, Senator Ahmad Lawan expresses his strong
support for the policies and reforms of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led
administration. He believes in the administration’s commitment to transforming
Nigeria and addressing the nation’s challenges.
