Three senators elect from Kano State, Alhaji Barau Jibrin alias Malia, Senator Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya, and Malam Ibrahim Shekarau have strongly indicated their willingness to support the presidential ambition of leader, Ahmed Lawan, to become senate president in the 9th National Assembly.
The three senators elect from Kano threw their weights behind the publicised presidential ambition of Senator Ahmed Lawan’s candidacy.
The senators described him as eminently qualified to occupy the exalted seat going by international parliamentary best practices.
Barau Jubrin, who is the secretary of Ahmed Lawan Campaign Organisation, led other members of the campaign train to the Country home of the Sardaunan Kano residence of Senator-elect, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, to solicit for his support.
Jubrin said: “The National Assembly leadership is elected based on international parliamentary best practices.
“Now, Ahmed Lawan is the current leader and he will be the oldest senator, the most highly ranked senator in the 9th Senate.
“He is a two-time member of House of Representatives and four-time member of the Senate.
“So, he is the most experienced and most ripe for the job of the Senate presidency going by international parliamentary best practices.”
“I am now a Senator-elect and I pray that the 9th National Assembly will be a very peaceful and smooth one, where we will all join hands together to move Nigeria forward.
“I believe you have all what it takes to lead the National Assembly. We are already your canvassers, whether you are around or not, you need not recruit us to do it. We understand where we need to go and who needs to have the responsibility to lead us.
Lawan said they were in Kano to solicit for the support of Shekarau, whose wealth of experience, he said, is much needed to move the 9th Senate forward.
