Denial of Presidential Ambitions
Addressing the media reports that had surfaced, Lawan emphasized that he had not expressed any desire to vie for the presidency of the 10th Senate.

Recognizing the multitude of challenges arising from the ongoing contests for leadership positions within the 10th National Assembly, Lawan assured the public that he remains dedicated to finding effective solutions.
He stated, “As a responsible member of the APC, my primary focus is to actively contribute to resolving the various issues that have arisen in the pursuit of leadership roles within the 10th National Assembly. This endeavor demands my complete attention and will continue to be my priority.”
Prioritizing Party Responsibilities
Ahmad Lawan, as the President of the Senate, affirmed his allegiance to the APC and its goals. While the speculations regarding his presidential aspirations are baseless, Lawan reemphasized his commitment to the party’s objectives and the success of the upcoming Senate.
Lawan concluded, “I remain steadfast in my dedication to the APC and its endeavors. The challenges we face demand unity and collective efforts to ensure that the 10th Senate is led by competent individuals who can effectively address the issues plaguing our nation. This remains my utmost focus and responsibility.”
