Senator Lawan breaks silence on reported plans to dump APC for SDP

Former Senate President , Senator Ahmed Lawan, has said that he has no plans to leave the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

In response to speculation suggesting his defection, the Yobe North senator maintained that he remains a dedicated member of the APC and has no intention of switching parties.

A statement issued on Sunday by his media adviser, Ezrel Tabiowo, read, “The attention of the Office of Senator Ahmad Lawan, the President of the 9th Senate and Distinguished Senator representing Yobe North Senatorial District, has been drawn to misleading reports and posters circulating in some quarters, insinuating that he is set to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

“We wish to categorically state that these reports are entirely false, baseless, and without merit. Senator Ahmad Lawan remains a steadfast and loyal member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a party he has proudly associated with and contributed to since its formation. He remains a key stakeholder in the APC and will continue to work with the party and the government to ensure the success of their collective goals.”
