Senator Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, the President of the 9th Senate, has firmly denied reports and circulating posters suggesting that he is planning to leave the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP). In a statement released by his Media Adviser, Ezrel Tabiowo, Lawan called the rumors “false, baseless, and without merit,” asserting his continued loyalty to the APC.
Lawan emphasized his long-standing commitment to the APC, highlighting his role as one of the key founding members of the party, and his political journey, which spans over 25 years. The statement clarified that Lawan has never defected from a political party in his career, stressing his strong belief in the vision and principles of the APC.
Lawan also reaffirmed his support for Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State and the policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, signaling his ongoing dedication to working alongside the government to achieve national progress. The statement urged the public and party members to disregard the unfounded rumors, attributing them to “mischief-makers” seeking to sow distractions.
This clarification comes at a time when political speculation can stir uncertainties, and Lawan’s firm stance on staying with the APC is likely to quell any concerns regarding his loyalty to the party.
What do you think this means for Lawan’s future within the APC? Will his strong response help put an end to the speculation, or could this be a sign of growing political tensions within the party?
