By Ikechukwu Okaforadi

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, on Tuesday said he has never told anyone or held a meeting with anyone that he is in the race for the President of the 10th Senate.
Lawan who disclosed this in a statement he made available to newsman in Abuja said he is part of the leadership of his party, the APC.
He said “I have read some media reports that I have joined the race for the Presidency of the 10th Senate. Ordinarily I would not have responded to these reports but when lies are not refuted, they have the tendency to create an illusion of truth.
“The truth is that I have never told anyone or held a meeting with anyone that I am running for the Presidency of the 10th Senate. So the public should discountenance the reports.
“The fact remains that I am part of the leadership of our great party, the APC, seeking to find solutions to the numerous issues arising from the contests for the leadership of the 10th National Assembly and I will continue to remain focused on that”, he said.
