The President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, has denied reports insinuating him into the race for the senate presidency in the 10th Senate.
Lawan said there was no iota of truth in the report.
In a statement that he personally signed on Tuesday in Abuja, Lawan urged Nigerians to discountenance such reports.
He said that he never told anyone or held a meeting with people to apprise them of such an ambition.
Read his statement in extenso: “I have read some media reports that I have joined the race for the Presidency of the 10th Senate. Ordinarily, I would not have responded to these reports, but when lies are not refuted, they have the tendency to create an illusion of truth.
“The truth is that I have never told anyone or held a meeting with anyone that I am running for the Presidency of the 10th Senate. So the public should discountenance the reports.
“The fact remains that I am part of the leadership of our great party, the APC, seeking to find solutions to the numerous issues arising from the contests for the leadership of the 10th National Assembly and I will continue to remain focused on that.”
