Group Promotes Orji Kalu For Senate President

By Mohammed Baba Busu

An APC support group, Ahmed Bola Tinubu Gida Gida Movement, says Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, senator representing Abia North Zone, is the best candidate to succeed Ahmed Lawan as the next President of the Senate in the 10th National Assembly.

The National Coordinator of the group, Alhaji Zubairu-Ndaisa Danladi, drummed the support in an interview with newsmen in Bida.

He said that their position was sequel to the myriad of antecedents, track records, and wealth of experience of Senator Orji Kalu, who was a two-time governor of Abia state and an incumbent senator.

Danladi also said that as the current Chief Whip of the senate, Orji Kalu has the requisite knowledge to successfully steer the affairs of the 10th National Assembly.

The national coordinator described Orji Kalu as a result-oriented leader with a proven track record of executive and legislative combined experience that will move the Tinubu-led administration to greater heights.

According to him, the nation will need a dynamic, visionary, stable, unifying, and purposeful National Assembly that will complement Tinubu’s blueprint to deliver the promised renewed hope of Nigerians.

Danladi described Orji Kalu as an uncommon leader who always stands for the people, irrespective of ethnic and religious affiliations.

He added that Orji Kalu has shown loyalty, consistency, and competence, and therefore appealed to the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Party (APC) and the senators-elect to consider the need for a competent, hardworking, and dedicated leader like the Chief Whip, whose mission and vision will complement the Tinubu-led administration in giving the best to Nigerians.

While congratulating the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, the national coordinator urged them to hit the group running immediately as Nigerians are eager to see the much-needed dividends of democracy.
