May 09, (THEWILL) – Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has joined the 2023 presidential race.
Lawan made the declaration on Monday in Abuja, while receiving the N100 million APC nomination and expression of interest forms presented to him by a political group, National Stability Project, led by Chief Sam Nkire.
The Senate President said he had listened to various calls countrywide, asking him to contest the office of the president and that he was ready to commit himself to the calls.
“I want to commit myself to this call from all walks of life. This is not my journey. This is our journey because every hand must be on deck to take the country to the next level”, he said.
Lawan said though he was joining the race very late because the field is saturated with aspirants, he assured Nigerians that he would play the game by the rules.
“I will play the games by the rules. I will not circumvent any rule. I will not go against our party rules.
“I place my trust fully in the Almighty God on this journey”, he said.
