EKO HOT BLOG gathered that Lawmakers on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have reportedly resolved to endorse the President of the Nigerian Senate, Ahmad Lawan, for the 2023 Presidency.

Lawan who happens to be one of the longest-serving senators is seeking to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023.

However, while the ruling party is still busy organising its presidential primaries, at least sixty-seven Senators and one hundred and Seventy- eight members of the House of Representatives have agreed to throw their weight behind the aspiration of the Yobe State politician.

Reports quoted a source as saying the Lawmakers had concluded on their plans after Lawan was screened on Tuesday by the APC Presidential screening committee.

The lawmakers according to the report have prepared to declare their support for the Presidential aspirant soon against the backdrop that they have seen in him a Nigerian who is young, with wealth of experience, especially his period in the National Assembly from 1999 to date.

They believe the Senate President would be a President for all irrespective of class, religion, ethnicity and background.

“Considering the experience the President of the Senate has gathered overtime at the National Assembly, from a member of the House of Representatives to as a Senate leader and the President of the Senate, 67 Senators and 178 members of the House of Representatives across party lines have resolved to endorse him as the successor of President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023,” the source disclosed.
