Sani Musa, senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, has thrown his weight behind Ahmad Lawan, senate president’s power bid, arguing that he would make a good president if elected in 2023.
Senator Musa said Lawan’s Northeast zone has not produced a president since 1966, noting that if he is affirmed through consensus at Tuesday’s APC’s Presidential Primaries scheduled for Eagle Square in Abuja, he would make a good choice.
Musa spoke about the compelling qualities of the Senate President and why he would make a great President of Nigeria if elected at the primaries and later at the general elections.
This is contained in a statement signed by Dr Nasiru Abdullahi, Media Adviser to the Sen. Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organisation and issued to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.
“Senator Ahmad Lawan comes from a zone that has not produced a President of Nigeria since 1966.
”He is blessed with good education up to a PhD. A very humble and loyal person, he has no scandals or controversies around him.
”Also, he has served as a lawmaker at the House of Representatives and Senate for 23 years since 1999. That is a lot of experience,” Musa added.
He further extolled the qualities of Lawan, saying: “It is needed to be proclaimed that any leader desirous of leading a country of 200 million diverse peoples must exhibit these qualities and more.”
Musa appealed to other contestants of the APC to eschew bitterness, even if they lose the elections.
He asked for loyalty to the party by accepting the outcome of the primaries as the will of God and forging forward together towards the general elections as a united family.
