contender for the President of the Senate in the 9th Assembly, Dr. Ahmed Lawan, yesterday described the Supreme Court judgment which voided all votes cast for the All Progressive Congress in Zamfara State as a huge setback for the party.
His words: “The Supreme Court judgment on Zamfara State was a setback to the ruling party because the APC lost three senators and seven or eight in the House of Representatives. Reacting to insinuation that Nigerian lawmakers receive the highest pay in Africa, Lawan said the legislature, since inception in 1999, has never received any jumbo pay, noting that it was a misconception that has no bearing with reality.
He reiterated the fact that he was not imposed on his fellow senators by the Presidency or the party due to his close affinity to some powerful hawks in the corridors of power, arguing that he was just privileged to be recommended among many other qualified candidates which is in conformity with democratic practice all over the world.
