Senate President Ahmad Lawan has asked the All Progressives
Congress (APC) delegates in Kano state to vote for him in the party’s
presidential primary election.
The presidential hopeful pleaded with the delegates when he
met with them in Kano on Saturday night.
Lawan said there is no propaganda that will convince anyone
that the APC is not strong in Kano.
“When His Excellency, our governor was rounding up his speech, he said Kano is a swing state and it can determine not only the Primaries, with 500 delegates, but also the general elections. Your Excellency, it will swing to my side by the Grace of God,” he said.
“I want all the 500 delegates. In fact, I need all the 500
delegates Your Excellency. If I can’t have the 500, please let me have at least
400.
“My brothers and sisters, distinguished delegates, I promise
you that, when eventually we discuss and find common ground with His Excellency
and vote for me, you will forever be pleased with the way and manner I will
lead this country because it is not possible for anyone to lead the country
like Nigeria without the presence and contributions of people like Governor
Abdullahi Ganduje.”
On his part, Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano governor, said under
Lawan, the legislature and executive have enjoyed a cordial relationship.
“If we can recall
with nostalgia what happened between 2015 and 2019, we are all living witnesses
that we had a lot of instability, poor relationship between the Legislature and
the executive,” he said.
“Infact, we had a situation where, in one day, 15 Senators
from APC defected to PDP from the senate chamber.
“Your Excellency, I’m saying all these things in order to
show your political dexterity in managing the national assembly, in managing
the relationship between the executive and the legislature.”
