After rigorous lobbying by senators, the All Progressives Congress on Saturday announced Senator Ahmed Lawan and Senator George Akume as sole candidates for the position of President and Deputy Senate President of the 8th Senate respectively.

This decision was arrived at after a primary election conducted by the National Working Committee of the APC at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

    If 32 out of 33 of the accredited voters voted for a person, then it is not an election as you guys claim.
    It is a selection!
    If you said some people in the other camp did not participate, then, yet again it is not an election. It is imposition.
