Barely 13 days to the inauguration of the leadership of the National Assembly, the former governor of Abia state and Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzo Kalu on Tuesday disclosed that he and Abdulaziz Yari have formed an alliance to produce the next Senate President.

This is coming barely three weeks when the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) announced that the party has endorsed the persons of Goodwill Akpabio and Barau Jibrin as President of the Senate and deputy respectively.

Addressing newsmen at the National Assembly complex in Abuja, Kalu disclosed that the Igbo presidency of the Senate is very much alive.

He further said that he has not resigned from the contest of the 10th Assembly Senate President.

Expressing concern over the lingering clamor for the position, Kalu said what happened during Saraki is likely to happen on June 13th, 2023 as he and Senator Yari are discussing who should be the Senate President and the Deputy Senate President.

He said: “I can’t step down for anybody. My group and Yari’s group are talking. No one zone can produce the president of the Senate.

“The partnership will be unveiled. We are in talks and we have decided to be talking. That talk will be unveiled by our sponsors.

“Yari and I will be happy to follow what our sponsors decide.”

He disclosed that in a couple of days, the plan of who become the President of the Senate and his deputy will be made public.

He said: “We are not looking for what to eat, we just want to support Tinubu to succeed. If people think what happened during Saraki will not happen again they are dreaming. We will congratulate who wins and if we win, they should congratulate us.”

He, however, revealed that they will support, whoever wins because, in the next four years, they are going to be sitting in one chamber.

On why he has kept such an ambition secret for some time, Kalu said, “We have the largest press but we decided to go underground. We will unveil our plans on the 13th of June. Whether Yari-Kalu or Kalu-Yari, we will not disappoint Nigerians.”

Speaking on the transition that just took place following the swearing-in of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president of Nigeria, Kalu said he is happy Nigeria transited to another civilian government without rancor.

Kalu said: “Tinubu should look into abandoned projects. He should look at the Ajakuta steel company, Jos flour mill company, and many other abandoned projects.

“Nigeria has over 11,000 abandoned projects which are taking over our debt servicing. Ministries and parastatals that are no longer viable should either be scrapped or merged.

“Niger Delta Ministry should be scrapped. NDDC should function because they are not supposed to report to the ministry. Nigerians should be happy they have Tinubu as President today.

“All those days of stealing money are gone. Tinubu is not looking for food to eat. People like us are not looking for food to eat. We want to work for Nigeria.”

What's the fuss, just find a bigger crook among the two and make him Senate President. What are we hiding again?

Last last Tinubu go find them some juicy slot

So this is what it has been about all along. Personal ambition. Mtcheeew.

Scrapping of Niger Delta Ministry will be nice. NDDC and NEDC or any other regional Development Commission should be placed under the supervision of Ministry of Humanitarian affairs and Disaster Management.

You wan enter ring with Tinubu


Okay na

A misleading news, They are still talking...

He said: “I can’t step down for anybody. My group and Yari’s group are talking. No one zone can produce the president of the Senate.

You can't pull Saraki's way this time.

This is Tinubu's tenure

And Kalu came from the part of Nigeria that wanted to crucify Wike for contesting presidency.
South East has produced full term senate President(s). It is the turn of South South and not necessarily Akpabio.
By chance Kalu jeopardises this opportunity there will be a day for reckoning.

Okay

We are watching.

I hope Kalu still remembers what happened to Saraki thereafter.

Now, has anyone heard from Saraki this year? Emilokan Tinubu has buried Saraki politically. Kalu wants to be next

Imagine Uzor Kalu ..

Sometimes, it's as if Nigerians don't have better options and it's embarrassing...

Just like his behavior in the primary, Kalu has started again.

🫤

I know the dubious Kalu will do that, a confirmed asslicker, he will prefer the natural slave master of his people from the north to a southerner just as he did in the APC primaries.

But either he likes or not, God's will shall prevail and Akpabio will emerge the senate president.

Tinubu broke first record

Ndi ara...Orji onye oshi

Attention seeker of the highest order. Yari will soon leave you to go and apologize and tell Presido what you did not say.

They are more comfortable with the Yorubas. Better behave yourself so that you don't compound your woes and that of your region. The Lawan you supported against BAT is towing party line.
Alai ni ronu!

This one is always on wrong political course!

As usual now... Lule is imminent!

Dey play

Bluntguy:
So this is what it has been about all along. Personal ambition. Mtcheeew.

Of course, it's all about personal ambition

From top to bottom

Uzor Kalu, you go collect las las. You think you can fool ur people just to align with Northern political players?
It's just ur own selfish ambition. You must collect!

Trachery run in thier blood. Bloody flatinoe snitch

Why would Kalu want to mess himself up like this .. He is chasing shadow by going against his party's decision .. Tinubu like party discipline and may not take to Kalu's style of disloyalty . A tree can't make a forest the man should know this

Kalu is not new to being a traitor
He has done it before, during and still trying after election......
His defeat and disgraced is eminent.
This time, e go fall flat like AMAECHI, no remedy for him at all......

I strongly doubt you are not looking for something to eat because mans greed is insatiable.

This self centered one thinks he can pull another saraki. Impossible. He will be disgraced just like Amaechi the traitor.

This asshole go soon resign ..all these na make them lobby am with monet n contracts..believe him at ur own peril
