Senators on Tuesday night wished Yemi Osinbajo luck in his bid to outsmart Bola Tinubu for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC ahead of the 2023 General Election.

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan who spoke the mind of senators also said that the National Assembly caucus of the All Progressives Congress(APC) was working hard to ensure the party retains power in 2023.

Lawan spoke with State House correspondents on Tuesday after the breaking of Ramadan fast hosted by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo for the Senate caucus of the 9th Assembly.

Lawan said the vice-president briefed the caucus about his intention to run for the office of the president in 2023 and caucus members wished him well.

Osinbajo, had in a video posted online on Monday, declared his interest to run in the 2023 presidential election.

“We had dinner with the vice-president to break the fast and thereafter, we had a brief interaction on our government and the vice-president’s declaration to run for the president’s office.

“Naturally, the vice-president told us he had expressed his interest and that he needed to consult with the Senate APC caucus.

“He wanted us to hear from his mouth and that we did; and he was seeking our support in whatever way we can at the appropriate time; and we wished the vice-president good luck in this endeavour,” Lawan said on behalf of the senators in response to the dinner invitation from Osinbajo.

“Let me assure everyone that the Senate APC caucus and indeed, the National Assembly caucus of the APC will continue to work very hard for our great party the APC, to continue to provide services to Nigerians.

“We shall also work hard to ensure that by 2023, the next administration is an APC administration at the federal and states levels by the Grace of God,’’ Lawan said. (NAN)
