“Good to meet Senator Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan and discuss priorities for the 9th Assembly. The NASS has a busy legislative agenda coming up including electoral, petroleum and police reform bills- Catriona Laing, British High Commissioner to Nigeria,” the post read.
The meeting between the two was seen as an endorsement of Lawan by Britain.
