The former Imo state governor who was at his element taunted his colleague during the valedictory session of the 9th senate, which held on Saturday.
Okorocha said, “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.”

Lawan who was unfazed by Okorocha’s comment responded, “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 Next Edition recalls that both of them participated in the presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC), but were defeated by President Bola Tinubu.
While Okorocha who represented Imo West did not return as a senator, Lawan will be part of the 10th senate.
