Senate President Ahmad Lawan on Saturday said he’ll build on efforts of the Muhammadu Buhari regime in tackling insecurity if elected president of Nigeria.

“Even though the present administration under President Muhammad Buhari has done and is still doing well in tackling security challenges, I assure you that if I become the next president of this country, I will build on that and provide the security agencies with the necessary equipment to enable them to end the security challenges,” Mr Ahmad said.

The senate president spoke while seeking the support of Jigawa state delegates ahead of the presidential primary of the APC. He also vowed to provide appropriate equipment to enable security agencies to address challenges.

Mr Lawan boasted that he possessed all the necessary experiences to lead Nigeria into greatness if given the mandate in 2023, haven “served at the National Assembly for 23 years” and with “lots of experience” to lead to a greater Nigeria.

He, therefore, urged the delegates to give him their votes at the presidential primary election.

In his remarks, Governor Muhammad Badaru, represented by his deputy, Umar Namadi, described the aspirant as an experienced and dependable Assemblyman.

Mr Lawan also visited the Emir of Dutse, Nuhu Muhammad, to seek his blessing for his ambition to become the next president of Nigeria.
