On Saturday, Senate President Ahmad Lawan denied keeping secret letters from senators who wanted to leave the All Progressives Congress.
In response to numerous statements made on various platforms, Lawan stated that he hasn’t received any letters of defection.
He said that the individuals making the claim had not taken the opportunity to ask the impacted senators to confirm whether or not the letter had been delivered to the Senate President.
Ola Awoniyi, Lawan’s Special Adviser (Media), delivered a statement on Saturday in which Lawan clarified the situation.
The statement read: “We have seen a story on social media and some online newspapers purporting that the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, is sitting on letters from some Senators allegedly intimating him of their defections from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The story insinuated that Lawan is sitting on the purported letters to protect his position as the President of the Senate.
“We hereby state categorically that the story is an utter falsehood as there is no such letter before the Senate President.
“The report mentioned only Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa as one of the affected Senators.
