Abdullahi Adamu, the chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, has said Senate President Ahmad Lawan was submitted to INEC as a candidate because he took part in a secret primary in Yobe North Senatorial District.
Mr Adamu said Nigerians should believe his claim that an undisclosed senatorial primary took place. He said the mysterious primary was conducted after Mr Lawan was defeated at the ruling party’s presidential primary by Bola Tinubu.
“I do know in my honour that he did participate within the timeline,” Mr Lawan told reporters at the State House on Monday, AIT reported. “Go and find out from the person who is responsible for organising the primary.” He did not name the person that organised the purported primary. Mr Lawan has not claimed to take part in any primary.
