61 Senators Sign Up To Vote Ahmed Lawan As Senate President
At least 61 Senators-elect have signed up to vote Ahmed Lawan as Senate President, his campaign organisation said on Saturday.
The secretary of the organisation, Barau Jibrin, read the names on the list to journalists at Transcorp Hilton Abuja.
Jibrin said the list comprised of 60 out of the 62 elected APC Senators and one from the Young Peoples Party (YPP).
He said the list was initially 64 but was trimmed to 62 due to the ruling on Zamfara State.
He expressed confidence that the 61 would vote Mr Lawan.
