The Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan, who had declared his intention to contest the position, has told Punch in an interview that his colleagues would act in unity to ensure that the APC takes over the leadership of the 9th Senate.
Lawan said, “We have learnt our lessons as a party. I believe that the issue of the National Assembly leadership will be given maximum attention to ensure that the two chambers have leadership that would function well and collaborate well with the executive for good governance.
“Many of us in the APC believe that we are going to listen to what our party will advise us to do and follow our party’s instructions.
“I don’t think that there is a single senator-elect who wants to antagonise or challenge the leadership of the party and naturally, we are expecting that the leadership of our party will come out with suggestions on the way and manner that the leadership of the 9th National Assembly will emerge.
“We are looking forward to all party members, as committed progressives, to obey what our party and our leaders would want us to do.
“I believe that our party and leaders will turn their attention to how the leadership of the two chambers of the National Assembly would be constituted as soon as the supplementary elections are over.
“They say once beaten, twice shy. We cannot possibly forget, very quickly, what we have been going through in the last four years or so.”
Attempts to get the reaction of Senator Danjuma Goje failed on Sunday as calls made to his mobile line were not answered while he had also yet to respond to the text message sent to him as of the time of filing this report.
