Senator Orji Uzu Kalu, a former presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, APC, has disclosed that the party’s National Chairman, Abdulahi Adamu, and the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, will bring Senate President Ahmed Lawan to President Muhammadu Buhari for support.
Senator Abdulahi Adamu has already announced that the Senate President will be the party’s consensus candidate in the party’s primary election on Tuesday.
The NWC and President Buhari have disputed that a consensus candidate has been chosen, saying that all hopefuls would meet at the polls, with delegates deciding who will represent the party in the 2023 presidential election.

But Kalu, the Chief Whip of the Senate who congratulated Lawan in a statement he personally signed on Monday, said Senate President would be presented to Buhari for endorsement.
He wrote, “Sen Abdulahi Adamu has through a vigorous evaluation of all our able and qualified candidates, decided in the interest of our party and the future wellbeing of millions of Nigerians who look to our party for continuous leadership, decided that Senator Ahmed Lawan is the strongest and most suitable candidate to be the flag bearer of our party in the upcoming Presidential election.
“The National Chairman and NWC of our party will present Senator Ahmed Lawan to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for his endorsement.”
