Senator Lawan reacts to reports alleging he attended the plenary session after adjournment

President of the Ninth Senate, Senator Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan, Ph.D., GCON, Sardaunan Bade, Yobe North Senatorial District, has debunks the malicious report fabricating claims against Senator Lawan for allegedly attending plenary session after adjournment. Such unfounded allegations undermine his impeccable integrity and discipline as one of Nigeria’s finest legislators.
In a press statement issued and signed by Dr. Ezrel Tabiowo, FAI, FIMC, FCP, and Fsca Media Adviser to Senator Ahmed Lawan, Ph.D., GCON, which was made available to newsmen in Damaturu.
According to the statement, Senator Lawan is a respected statesman and seasoned legislator who adheres to the highest ethical standards and would never be associated with bringing disrepute to his office as Senator representing Yobe North. The baseless allegations are clearly a deliberate attempt by a mischievous fecubent to tarnishing his hard-earned reputation for cheap political points.
Regarding the media reports alleging that Senator Ahmed Lawan attended the plenary session on a non-sitting day, it is imperative to clarify the following:.
The Senate holds plenary sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. However, there was no scheduled plenary session on Thursday in question, following an earlier adjournment on Wednesday by the upper chamber after the joint sitting of the National Assembly.
Senator Ahmed Lawan was present at the National Assembly complex on Thursday, but solely for scheduled meetings in his office. He did not make any attempt to attend any plenary session, as alleged by some online reports. In spite of having held one of the highest offices in Nigeria between 2019 and 2023, Senator Lawan can be considered one of the most vibrant and active lawmakers in the 10th National Assembly.
The media reports that misrepresented Senator Lawan’s presence at the National Assembly as “attendance for plenary” are inaccurate and utterly misleading.
Accordingly, we strongly condemn the publication of false and unsubstantiated reports that attack the reputation and character of Senator Lawan and undermine his integrity. We call upon media outlets to verify information before publishing and to uphold the highest standards of journalistic ethics.
