Senator representing Imo West, Rochas Okorocha, has asked Senate President Ahmad Lawan for lessons on how to return to the senate without participating in the primary election.
The former Imo state governor said this during the valedictory session of the 9th senate on Saturday.
The Senate President’s participation in the primary meant he would not be able to contest the Yobe North senatorial ticket of the APC, according to the Electoral Act.
Bashir Machina was declared the winner of the primary election monitored by INEC.
The supreme court in a verdict, however, affirmed Lawan as the authentic candidate.
Speaking at the valedictory session, Okorocha, who is not returning to the senate, wondered how Lawan made it.
“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,” he said.
