Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmed Lawan has refuted some rumours speculating that he retains legislative powers to facilitate a tenure elongation for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Lawan debunked such claims via his Special Adviser (Media), Ola Awoniyi, in Abuja, who emphasized his commitment to stand by the provision of the constitution which allows a president to hold office for not more than two tenures.
