Buhari Remains The Compass Of APC Beyond 2023 – Lawan Says

President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari will continue to provide leadership to the All Progressives Congress (APC) beyond 2023 after his exit from office.

Lawan, who stated this in his remarks at the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which took place at the Eagle Square, Abuja, on Saturday, noted that Buhari’s ability to sustain unity within the party against all odds positions him favorably as the “compass” needed to give direction to the party at all times.

Lawan said; “Mr. President, we can compare favorably well with any other party across the world. This is because you have provided the leadership that we need.

“Let me be explicit, you will not be on the ballot in 2023, but you will remain the leading light and moral compass of APC even after your tenure finishes.

“And, therefore, Mr. President, I’m sorry, you will have little rest, because we will never allow you to go away,” he said.

Lawan lauded the President for his role in ensuring Executive/Legislature harmony and the development of all geo-political zones in the country.

The Senate President said that Buhari’s commitment to the implementation and completion of projects would particularly see to the eventual commissioning of the second Niger Bridge in the South-East part of the country later this year.

Lawan also commended the Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee for stabilising the Party in the last 18 months of holding sway.

He described the National Convention as a strong statement by the APC attesting to its ability to provide leadership for the country and strengthen unity amongst members within its fold.
