All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has said Senate President Ahmad Lawan participated in Yobe North Senatorial Primary.
Abdullahi stated this on Monday at the Presidential Villa when he led party members to present the Ekiti State governor-elect, Biodun Oyebanji, to President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to the former Nasarawa State governor, Lawan participated in the senatorial primary in Yobe North despite contesting the APC presidential primary election on June 8 at the Eagles Square in Abuja.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Bashir Machina, had said he won’t step down for down, claiming he is the authentic APC senatorial candidate for the senatorial district.
Speaking on Lawan emerged as APC senatorial candidate, Adamu said: “Don’t get yourself in the court of law. Is it that you were told of they are saying it?
“I don’t have time for negativities. I don’t just have time for that. If you face me with positives, I have time for all of that. I will stand here and answer all of your questions.
“I cannot respond to every speculation, particularly when they are negative, especially when they are by mischief makers.
“Is there any law that says when you contest an election and lost, you shouldn’t contest another one?”
“Go and find out from the person who is responsible for organising the primary. I have done my bit.
“I do know, in my honour, that he did participate within the timeline.”
