Senate Presidency: Lawan Defies Oshiomhole, Meets PDP Governors, Senators
#1
Quote:The Senate Majority Leader and All Progressives Congress candidate for the Senate presidency in the 9th National Assembly, Ahmed Lawan, has reached out to some Peoples Democratic Party governors to brighten his chances of winning the number three position.

This is contrary to the ruling party’s earlier position that it would not need the PDP for its candidate to emerge winner in the race.

Lawan’s adoption by the ruling party’s National Working Committee has divided the party, with Senators Ali Ndume (Borno) and Danjuma Goje (Gombe) insisting on contesting the post despite the APC’s position.

The National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, had shortly after the NWC’s adoption of Lawan, said the ruling party did not need the PDP lawmakers’ votes to clinch leadership seats in the National Assembly.


He cautioned against any power sharing deal with the opposition party.

The APC said all committees in the Senate would be chaired by the APC senators.

But Lawan met with three PDP governors during the week to seek their support.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that he met separately with Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as well as Imo State governor-elect Emeka Ihedioha in Abuja where he sought their support for his Senate presidency bid.


A source, who was part of his meeting with Tambuwal on Wednesday, claimed Lawan complained about Oshiomhole’s comments on the PDP, which he said had adversely affected his chances of winning the support of some returning PDP senators-elect.

It is however not clear whether the Yobe lawmaker made any commitment to a power-sharing deal with the PDP.


“It was just to reassure PDP stakeholders of his readiness to work and cooperate with them, nothing more,” the source said.

Spokesman for the Lawan-for-Senate President Campaign Organisation, Senator Sabi Abdullahi, confirmed to one of our correspondents that the Senate Leader met with some governors.


Abdullahi, who is also the spokesperson for the Senate, described the meetings with the governors as “successful”.

However, he did not give details of the meeting or disclose the identities of the governors that Lawan met with.

He said, “We have spoken to many governors, including Kashim Shettima (of Borno State) when he visited Lawan’s campaign secretariat .


“Many of the governors we spoke to were pleased with our agenda for the 9th Senate and they all pledged their support.”

Abdullahi at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday said Lawan would carry along all PDP senators if elected.

Abdullahi had said, “l want Nigerians to look at those of us who are the actors and take note of what we say. That is the most important thing. I want to submit and assure Nigerians that by the special grace of God, if Senator Ahmed Lawan gets there, he will run an all-inclusive government because the Senate is the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


“The notion that the PDP would be excluded should be withdrawn forthwith. What we are planning to do is to have a Senate that will be for all senators.”

According to him, many opposition senators pledged their support and promised to vote for Lawan as they are convinced he will not sideline them.

He said, “I can confirm to you that on the day of inauguration Lawan will garner more than two-thirds majority support from members-elect from both APC and PDP.


“We are talking to our colleagues; we are working on the people who will vote on the day of inauguration.”

But spokesman for Ihedioha, Chibuike Onyeukuwu, denied any meeting between his principal and Lawan.

Both Tambuwal and Okowa could not be reached for comments as of press time. But the PDP on Friday said it had yet to decide whether its governors would support Lawan.


The PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, told one of our correspondents on Friday that the party still had some months of consultations before it would take a stand.

He said, “The PDP definitely has its own joker, and as a responsible party, will look at all options.

“We still have a few months of horse-trading and consultations to weigh our options and adopt the best democratic practice.


“This is politics and the party will definitely take a stand at the appropriate time.”

APC NWC yet to zone Speaker, Deputy Speaker’s positions, others

Meanwhile, the APC NWC has yet to meet on the zoning arrangement for the leadership positions in the National Assembly, SATURDAY PUNCH has learnt.


Shortly after announcing Lawan as the party’s choice for the Senate presidency, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, said the zoning arrangement for the remaining positions in the Senate and House of Representatives would be announced later.

Investigations by one of our correspondents on Friday, however, revealed that the NWC had yet to meet on the matter.

Senate Majority Leader and top contenders for the President of the Senate in the ninth National Assembly, Ahmed Lawan, has denied meeting with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors.

Lawan made the denial in a press release by his campaign group spokesman, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, in Abuja during the weekend.

Clarifying a report making the rounds that the Senate Leader defied the directives of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and met with PDP governors in pursuit of his ambition to lead the next Senate President, Senator Sabi Abdullahi said that there was never a time he said Lawan met with PDP governors in his earlier chat with reporters in Abuja.


The press release read in part, “What we said was that we had several interactions between lawmakers and governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC). We stand to be corrected on this.

“We cannot but imagine the height of embarrassment which such a story may have caused Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party.

“Nevertheless, we wish to re-echo our position that the Senator Ahmad Lawan candidacy remains committed to the principle of inclusion for all Senators-elect regardless of party affiliation.

“This position stems from our posture which believes that nation building is a task for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, religion, party or other sentiments.

“In demonstrating this, the Senator Lawan for Senate President Group had rounds of interactions with Senators-elect from APC, PDP and YPP during the just concluded orientation program for elected members of the 9th National Assembly.

“As interactions continue, we hope to continue to interface with Senators-elect from the various political parties with a view to giving Nigerians a leadership in the 9th National Assembly that considers national interest a top priority.”
