Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has expressed optimism that he would emerge as the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s presidential candidate at the end of the party’s primary.
Speaking with newsmen after his screening in Abuja, Lawan said his outing with the screening committee was eventful and positive.
He said, “I had discussions with the panel. I was asked very important questions about the manifesto of our party, my activities and administration, about my vision for Nigeria as an APC candidate, not as aspirant.
“My vision for Nigeria as the president of Nigeria from 2023. It was a very pleasant experience for me, because I was looking forward to that engagement, to express myself very well to my party, through the screening committee, on why I’m running to be the president of our great nation, from 2023.
“The party has ensured that Nigerians get the best deal in terms of governance, and ensured that more resources are taken from the federal government to the states and local governments, to make it commensurate with devolution of powers.
“We also believe that we must make the electoral environment in Nigeria a very peaceful, transparent, electoral environment, that our elections must be full of integrity.”
