Senate Presidency: Lawan Distance Self From Race
President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan has debunked claims in some sections of the media that he is running for the senate presidency of the 10th assembly.
In a statement signed by him on Tuesday, Lawan denied the claims saying that he has never informed anyone or been in any meeting to discuss the issue with anyone, while calling on members of the public to disregard the reports linking him to the race.
Lawan said as a member of the leadership of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), he remains committed to help the party find solutions to the numerous issues arising from the controversy surrounding the leadership of the 10th National Assembly.

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has found the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, guilty on count-1 of the terrorism charge the Federal Government preferred against him.

Trial Justice James Omotosho based his decision on what he described as “uncontroverted evidence” that was adduced before the court by the prosecution.

Judge Expels Kanu from courtroom
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court this morning, ordered Nnamdi Kanu out of the courtroom for unruly behaviour midway through Thursday’s proceedings.
The trial judge is set to deliver judgment in a case spanning ten years.
The judge had earlier dismissed three fresh motions filed by Kanu, ruling them unmeritorious.
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address.
He raised his voice, accused the judge of bias, and declared that the court “did not know the law.”
Following the outburst, security operatives escorted Kanu from the courtroom. Justice Omotosho is now set to proceed with reading the final judgment in the long‑running terrorism case.
