NNAS Crisis: Lawan Group Gives Saraki Condition...

The Senate Unity Forum on Sunday said that it would abide by the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders of the All Progressives Congress on the crisis over the Senate principal offices.

The group,   which canvassed for the emergence of Senator Ahmad Lawan, as President of the Senate, said that it would only withdraw it court cases challenging the election of the presiding officers of the Senate, if the party leaders directed them to do so.

The forum, however, said that at present the group had decided to pursue the court cases to their logical conclusion. It said that the Senate President and his group must show remorse, before the crisis could be resolved.

The comments of the group came on the heels of the peace moves by the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki and his group.

A national newspaper had on Saturday reported that   loyalists of the Senate President had a few days ago met with the President.

Saraki’s loyalists, including the Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, Adamu Aliero and Danjuma Goje, were reported to have begged Buhari, who had been shunning Saraki since the crisis in the upper chamber of the National Assembly started.
