Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, Sani Musa, has described as untrue and malicious, a report that there were plans to make Ahmad Lawan the 10th Senate President.
Musa said the report was a hatched story sponsored by political detractors who indicated that some senators-elect including him, had formed an alliance to ensure the return of Lawan as president of the 10th Senate.
Musa, a major contender for the position of the deputy Senate president in the incoming 10th National Assembly, said the concocted publication was aimed at causing confusion to pit the All Progressives Congress (APC) senators-elect against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his deputy, Kashim Shettima.
The Niger East senator has therefore urged the newly elected senators-elect and the general public to disregard totally, the false information in the media space, which he said was a figment of the imagination of the hatched rumour mongers.
The senator insisted that he stands by the position of his colleagues in the North Central geopolitical zone who had endorsed him as their candidate for the position of Deputy Senate President in the 10th National Assembly.
He also said he will not do anything contrary to the position of his colleagues which had been sanctioned and approved by the North Central governors.
Musa said there was no meeting anywhere, where there was an agreement between him and other senators to support the outgoing Senate president and senator-elect, Osita Izunaso to emerge Senate president and deputy Senate president of the incoming 10th Senate Presidency.
A story, which indicated that a three-horse race to the Senate presidency of the incoming 10th National Assembly was published by a national daily (not LEADERSHIP).
