The Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan, says the leadership of the Senate under his watch will make a difference if elected the 9th assembly’s Senate President.
The lawmaker, who is an aspirant for the number one position of the Senate, represents the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Yobe North Constituency.
He said his leadership would not only ensure unity among members of the parliament but make transparency and accountability its watchword for better service delivery for Nigerians.
Lawan said though the APC had the majority number of Senators-elect, the need to work as a team cannot be over-emphasised.
He said he was also qualified in terms of experience and competence in the legislative work.
“We have been around for long while in the National Assembly. I will clock 20 years by the grace of God on the first week of June.
“First I served as a member of the House of Representatives for eight years and I moved to the Senate in 2007. We must have leadership that is based on experience and that is what we are trying to do,’’ he stated
The lawmaker said what was required “is to have a Senate that is focused and united on national interest matters.’’
