Senator Ahmed Lawan representing Yobe North has been endorsed to emerge as the next Senate President of the 9th Assembly.

Senator-elect and former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is the latest personality to endorse the candidature of the Senate Leader, Senator Lawan, for the position of the Senate President of the 9th Senate.

The former Governor of Abia State, who traced his relationship with Lawan back to their school days at the University of Maiduguri, appealed to Lawan to lead the 9th Senate well.

“Honestly, I don’t see why I should leave Lawan. You know many years ago, he was my roommate in the University of Maiduguri and we lived in the same room for almost one and half years and I don’t see why I will not go with him,” he said.

Kalu further explained that Lawan is the choice of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the leader of the party, President Muhammadu Buhari.

“All our governors that are very vibrant are also endorsing him. The Progressive Governors’ Forum have endorsed him, so who am I? I am just one senator from Abia State. So, I am sure all our ministers have also endorsed him,” Kalu disclosed.
