Jubilation in Gbajabiamila, APC camp as Lawan emerges Senate President

There is wide jubilation in the Femi Gbajabiamila and the All Progressives Congress (APC) camp as Ahmed Lawan emerged  President of the Senate.

Lawan, who was adopted by his party, the APC, scored 79 votes against his only rival, Ali Ndume who pulled 28 votes.

A total of 107 Senators-elect participated in the election.

Lawan was adopted by the APC for Senate President while Gbajabiamila was adopted for the Speaker.

With the election of Lawan, the Gbajabiamila camp is sure of victory as it seems that members of the APC in the House who constitute majority will tow the same path.
