Ahmad Lawan, the incumbent Senate president, has denied having any desire to run for reelection in the 10th National Assembly.
In a statement released in Abuja, Lawan said that media rumors about his interest in the 10th Senate’s top position were false.
He said: “I have read some media reports that I have joined the race for the Presidency of the 10th Senate. Ordinarily, I would not have responded to these reports but when lies are not refuted, they have the tendency to create an illusion of truth.
“The fact remains that I am part of the leadership of our great party, the APC, seeking to find solutions to the numerous issues arising from the contests for the leadership of the 10th National Assembly and I will continue to remain focused on that.”
