The presidential nomination form drama in the All Progressives Congress (APC) continued on Monday with the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, joining the growing list of the ruling party’s presidential aspirants.
He became the 24th aspirant to pick the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms for the May 30 primary when a group of his friends led by Chief Sam Nkire, a member of the National Caucus of the party and 15 other Senators, purchased the form for him at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
