The people of Bade emirate in Yobe, on Saturday appealed to Senators Ali Ndume and Danjuma Goje, to step down and support the endorsement of Senator Ahmad Lawan for the President of the ninth senate.
Alhaji Mamman Suleiman and Alhaji Mohammed Gagiyo, prominent title holders who spoke on behalf of the emirate, said the endorsement of Senator Lawan was in the interest of the North-east and Nigeria.
Suleiman said: “as fellow compatriots of the region, we expect the two senators to support the senate leader following his endorsement by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Nigeria in the last four years had suffered from unnecessary political conflicts between the executive and National Assembly which
must not be repeated.”
The Emirate urged all APC senators to remain united in the interest of the party and the country.
Alhaji Gagiyo, also said the experience of the senate leader in the National Assembly made him more prepared and qualified for the
office of the senate president.
“As a region, we should exhibit the spirit of unity we are known for and support one of our own, Senator Ahmad Lawan.
“The people of Bade Emirate are solidly behind the Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan for Senate President and, we call on our brothers, Ndume
and Goje to step down for Lawan,” he said.
