Igbo moneybags lure Lawan into joining presidential race

Two businessmen from Abia state have promised to procure presidential nomination forms for Senate President Ahmed Lawan. The businessmen, identified as Ukaegbu James and Nnanna Kalu, similarly offered to procure the forms for Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the chief whip of the senate.

According to them, Lawan and Kalu are competent leaders who can succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, whose tenure ends in 2023.

“If we must get it right in 2023, we need result-oriented leaders like Kalu and Lawan to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

“It is time to present our best hands because there won’t be any room for writing of fake results and we are ready to make N200m available by weekend to purchase their nomination forms.

“We are convinced by their track record, managerial skills, experience and leadership acumen,” they said.
