Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmad Lawan has come out to say that he is not planning to run for president in 2023.
The Special Adviser on Media to Senate President, Ola Awoniyi revealed this via a recent statement today.
According to him, Lawan is not bothered about succeeding Buhari in years to come since it is very premature for anyone to start thinking about 2023 politics in 2020.
He added that the Senate President is currently focused on doing his job at the Senate right now.
His words, “The attention of the office of the President of the Senate has been drawn to a rather puerile media report that the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, is making plans to run for president in 2023. The report was first published by the Daily Independent newspaper of Friday, 17th July 2020 and reproduced later by the Sahara Reporters.
“The report apparently has its source in beer parlour gossips and should be treated with the contempt which it and those who concocted it deserves.
“It is true that the Senate President was involved in the consultations that President Muhammadu Buhari held prior to the last emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“But there was nothing extra-ordinary in his involvement in such consultations, given his status as holder of one of the highest political offices in Nigeria and on the platform of the APC. Such is required of any concerned member of the party.
“The Senate President believes that it is premature for anybody to be talking now about 2023 when all hands should be on deck against the myriad of challenges that faces our nation in this period.”
