The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, for the milestones he has recorded in building a synergy between the Legislature, Executive and the party.
The party, which described Lawan as an “experienced, cerebral, dexterous and patriotic federal lawmaker,” also added that he is “enshrining a best practice, particularly in legislative-executive relations in Nigeria.”
In a press statement issued by its National Secretary of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Sen. John J. Akpan Udoedeghe, to mark Lawan’s 62nd birthday, the party expressed the view that in partnering with the executive, the 9th National Assembly under the watch of H.E. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan has chosen to work for public good and national interest.
“Commendably, H.E. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan’s collaborative leadership of the 9th National Assembly has achieved and sustained the long-eluded December-January budget cycle in an equally multi-partisan National Assembly. This has ensured better national planning,” the statement read.
It continued, “At party level, H.E. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan is a valuable partner-in-progress who is supporting the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) mandate to reposition our great party and ensure peace, unity and true reconciliation across party ranks. H.E. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan inputs as member of the tripartite executive/legislative/APC consultative committee has ensured good governance and accelerated implementation of the Next Level Agenda.
“The APC family prays for good health and wisdom as the Senate President continues to contribute to national development and the growth of the APC.”
