Outgoing lawmaker, Senator Rochas Okorocha, on Saturday, said the way Senate President Ahmad Lawan got re-elected into the 10th National Assembly remains a mystery.

Okorocha who spoke while contributing to debate during the valedictory session organised by the Senate, said even though he was in the field with Lawan during the presidential primary election, he did not know how Lawan got his ticket after they both crashed out of the APC presidential race.

He said: “I did not contest for senate this period. I only contested for the office of president.

“You (Lawan) 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.”

In his response Lawan 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 tortuous 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.

On his part, Okorocha retorted: “I want to be your student next time. It is more of ‘the more you look, the less you see.’”
