The Senator representing Oyo North District, Senator Fatai Buhari has said Senator Ahmed Lawan already has 51 endorsement signatures from 66 senators-elect on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the race of 9th National Assembly leadership in the Senate.
According to him, Senator Lawan (Yobe North) is cruising towards emerging as the next chairman of the National Assembly in the capacity of Senate President.
Daily Post reports that Fatai Buhari, while responding to questions from journalists in Ibadan, said: “51 out of the 66 Senators elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress have signed an endorsement list and pledged to vote for Senator Lawan.”
Similarly, the House of Representatives-elect for Ibadan North federal constituency, Hon. Musiliudeen Akinremi, said Femi Gbajabiamila, at the moment, has enough support to emerge as the next Speaker of the Green Chamber of the federal legislature.
Akinremi told journalists yesterday after a political meeting in his house with Southwest House of Representative members-elect: “We have 191 members as of today backing Gbajabiamila. As the Southwest coordinator of the new Reps-elect in the zone, this number is even beyond APC Reps as we have supporters across political divides.
