Outgone Imo West Senator, Rochas Okorocha, has asked counterpart, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, for lessons on how to return to the senate without participating in party’s primary election.
Remember Lawan played no part in All Progressives Congress Yobe North senatorial primary won by Bashir Sheriff Machina as he was busy contesting for the party’s presidential ticket which later eluded him.
The outgone Senate President returned to seek Machina’s ticket with the matter ending in court where the Supreme Court ruled in his favour.
Okorocha made joke of the manner Lawan returned to the Red chamber during 9th senate valedictory session on Saturday.
“I did not contest for the senate this period. I only contested for the office of the president. You are a very smart politician. How you came back to the senate is another chapter in our political history that we need to discuss.
“I was there in the field with you running for president, I never knew how you were able to meander, leaving some of us. Next time you must teach me how to do that,” the former Imo state governor said.
“It was easy. I was there with you in the field and after our defeat, my constituents thought they needed me again. They asked for me to come back and it was a tortious journey because we had to go through the courts.
“I didn’t even appeal the judgement that did not give me the contest. The party and the stakeholders appealed on my behalf up to the supreme court, so there is nothing critical or remarkable. In fact, you have nothing to learn from it,” the five-time Senator retorted.
