Senate President and frontline presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Ahmad Lawan has refuted reports of him withdrawing from the presidential race to pursue another term in the senate
This is even as he encouraged his supporters not to entertain fear as he is working tirelessly to emerge as the candidate of the APC
In a statement issued on Sunday by the Spokesperson of Ahmad Lawan Presidential Campaign Organization, Mr Iyke Ekeoma, Lawan clearly dismissed the possibility of running for another term in the Yobe East Senatorial district
He described as mischief, the reports that he has withdrawn from the race, noting that those who planted the report were jittery about his political popularity, regional acceptance and dominance in political space hence, they cooked the fake report to create confusion.
“The withdrawal reports are mere handiwork of politicians who are intimidated by the experience of the Senate President and his massive gains in the last few days. The ambition to become the president of Nigeria after President Muhammadu Buhari is alive and Nigerians should be rest assured that he is in the race to win and not just to answer aspirants. All supporters of Lawan should not entertain fear as he is working tirelessly to emerge as the candidate of the APC” he said.
