Bashir Machina was elected as the candidate for the senatorial zone at the time.<\/p>\n<p>However, the supreme court affirmed Lawan as the authentic candidate even though he did not contest the primary.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during the valedictory session of the ninth senate on Saturday, the former governor of Imo said Lawan\u2019s return to the senate needed to be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not contest for senate this period.

How you came back [to the senate] is another chapter in our political history that we need to discuss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was there in the field with you running for president, I never knew how you were able to meander, leaving some of us. Next time you must teach me how to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Responding, Lawan said there was nothing to learn from how he returned to the upper legislative chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was easy. I was there with you in the field and after our defeat, my constituents thought they needed me again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey asked for me to come back and it was a tortious journey because we had to go through the courts. I didn\u2019t even appeal the judgement that did not give me the contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe party and the stakeholders appealed on my behalf up to the supreme court, so there is nothing critical or remarkable. In fact, you have nothing to learn from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Okorocha however added that: \u201cI want to be your student next time.
