Members of the National Assembly (NASS) on Friday 13th May, 2022, built up a strong contingent to support Senate President Ahmed Lawan when he stormed the National Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to submit his expression of interest and nomination forms for the presidential primary of the party.
The group, led by the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, submitted the form on behalf of Lawan.
Uzodinma, a former senator, said: “Like you know most of us here are from the National Assembly, some serving some are non-serving. Particularly like me I left the senate on sabbatical to go and contest election in Imo State and I’m on borrowed status in Imo state as the governor. Today we are here in solidarity to accompany our leader the Senate President to submit his duly completed form and we have submitted the form. In the police it is called esprit de corps.”
