Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has again urged President Muhammadu Buhari to consider picking the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan as the consensus presidential candidate of APC ahead of 2023 general elections., ABN TV reports.

Sen. Kalu a former governor of Abia State had a few days ago shortly after the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as PDP presidential candidate called on President Muhammadu Buhari to pick Lawan as his successor in order for APC not to embark on political retirement.

In a release on Thursday, Sen. Kalu said Lawan if elected as the country's next President will stabilise the country, secure all parts of it and take its development seriously.

He said, "I urge President Muhammed Buhari to consider giving Nigeria a man who can give the entire country a sense of belonging; fix our economy; secure all parts of the country; take education very seriously, and protect his legacy.

"The man Nigerians can trust is Senator Ahmad Lawan.

"Picking Ahmad Lawan as the consensus candidate of the APC will heal and stabilize the country as it is the closest to equity, justice, and fairness."

He also advised those who think the presidency of the country can be purchased with money to stop throwing their money around.

He said the Nigerian masses will collect the money and still vote their conscience.

"The earliest Nigerians and presidential aspirants understand that no amount of money can buy the president of the country , the better for everyone.

"It is only cohesion and consensus among the regions that can produce a president. If you throw in money, majority of the electorates will collect the money but still vote according to their conscience.

"If money can buy the office of the president of Nigeria, Late MKO Abiola could have bought it with extra change. If money can buy the president, former President Goodluck Jonathan could have bought the presidential seat in 2015" he noted.

The lawmaker insists that in the absence of a South-East President, North East is closer to fairness, equity, and justice.

"I strongly believe that the fairness Nigerians need is to produce a president from the South East of Nigeria. In the absence of the South-East, it is the North East.

"These two regions are the only ones yet to produce the president of Nigeria and since the opposition has gone North-East, it is ideal and wise that the APC go North-East.

"I am sure Nigerians will not waste their votes on any candidate that is not from the two regions in the next year's general elections and following years," he concluded.

How will Ahmed Lawan of the Bade tribe from Gashua stand up to an Atiku a Fulani man from Adamawa in an election for the office of President.

Ahmed Lawan can’t even win Governor of his state because of his minority status, but greed and desperation to be the SPs Vice won’t allow OUK see this.

Kalu is now a marketer or a promoter any of them ; after accepting defeat...

You a MUMU man

This mentally deranged slowpoke should be ready to kiss the red chambers bye bye when a yoruba man becomes President because we will frustrate the political maroon and nonentity out of APC and institute his recall. bloody fool

To think this OUK was a Governor from 1999-2007, a Senator but still acts like a political neophyte is very shameful.

A whole political Leader from SE who analyses Politics like a secondary school student.

He's always yapping

Uzor Kalu keeps reminding me of the film "Carlito's way" starring Al Pacino and Sean Penn. In the film, Carlito was freed from prison due to the legal ingenuity of his friend and personal lawyer Kleinfield. As a result of this, Carlito was willing to do anything for him as a reward for the freedom he was enjoying and that ultimately led to his death. Uzor Kalu is willing to do anything for the north because it was as a result of their ingenuity that a man who was guilty of corruption charges, is now free and enjoying all the perks of freedom with old things being ed away and a new saint being born. I just hope what finally happened to Carlito doesn't happen to him .

This man is a total sell out. Calling someone to vie for a post you can as well contest for. Bunch of hypocrite.

North again when its turn for South.

Like Azikwe like Kalu. Repeating same 1959 script. Down the line in few years to come will be screaming for help.

Lawal won’t stop your second jail .

That is exactly the same way Tinubu that you , could have contested for the presidency in 2015 also.

Why are you not harsh on Tinubu ?

Pa Mbazuluike Amaechi has already told everyone that wishes to know, that Zik decided to the north in an alliance, because they noticed Awolowo was playing both sides.
Awolowo was secretly negotiating with NCNC and NPC, unbeknown to both parties. Once this betrayal was discovered by both the Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello, Zik decided to forge ahead with the north.

The same cunning attitude of the Yorubas is repeating itself in the dispensation. Tinubu running for presidency when he could have easily ed the SE claim, and the north wouldn't have been able to muster courage to upturn that, as the 3 southern regions would have been speaking in unison.

You selfish lots are only concerned about what you stand to gain. Nobody will stabilize nada

Enipe?

You say black is beautiful, which is cool, but why do you always edit your pictures to make your skin look light?

E be like Lawan don promise this one VP seat ..... Everytime Lawan Lawn Lawan!!!!!

Drama that will unfold in the next next few days….Buhari dribbles Tinubu, Tinubu destroys APC’s goal post

Orji Kalu is alone on this, he just wants to make it easier for PDP.
Ahmed Lawan is not popular, and his rubber stamp chamber is the most unpopular senate we have had. The man will not sell

These mentally enslaved cold-hearted Southern Liders don't care common masses of the South. I read this here and it really Opened my eyes. Like if you agree to what he said below. Share if not.

LordGuru1:
For Southerners that are not yet braindead, Southern Unity in APC is all that is Needed to save your Land and Generation from been permanently enslaved by the you know who. May be they enjoy being slaughtered like rams by the Invaders, and their wives and daughters being raped, those that can't still see that ALL Southerners MUST Unite to ensure Southern APC Presidency are simply myopic and incorrigibly Senseless.

APC 2023 PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS OF DELEGATES — BY ZONE.

1. South East — With 8 Candidates and 288 delegates
2. South West — With 7 Candidates and 411 delegates.
3. South South — With 4 Candidates and 359 delegates.
4. North West — With 2 Candidates and 558 delegates.
5. North Central With 1 Candidate and 363 delegates.
6. North East — With 1 Candidate and 336 delegates.

✓ Northern Nigeria — With 4 Candidates and 1,257 delegates.

✓ Southern Nigeria — With 19 Candidates and 1,068 delegates.

This tells the whole story about the disadvantage of disunity and intra competitiveness within the South as compared to the largely coordinated strategic North, for those of us, who care to read between the lines.

It is on Record that no Fulani Government ever invited so many Igbo Technocrats from all over the World to in Governing Nigeria and making Nigeria Great as Obasanjo did. In fact the speedy Greatness and Global Respect which was speedily earned by Nigeria during OBJ Tenure was due to 67% Igbos' Participation in his Government. The truth is Igbos made Nigeria Great then, and we all quickly got back a Glorious Country we were all Proud of!

The most Non-Partisan Regime that brought out the Best in Igbos for the whole World to see was during Obasanjo. The great Uba, Charles Soludo, Okojo Iweala, Kema Chikwe, and so many other wonderful Gifted Igbos shined Bright to the amazement of the whole World, Nigerian port then was Visa-free to Many wonderful Countries that I personally visited.

But as soon as Goodluck came in, the Nigeria evious Integrity labouriously built by both Igbos and Yorubas nose-dived and took a free fall. Goodluck killed Nigeria's Glory by encouraging Mediocrity. Combination of Serious-minded Igbos and Yorubas always bring the Best out of Nigeria.

Please, I'm so tired of the disdain with which Immigration Officers of different Countries now look at my Nigerian port! The Greatness of Nigeria truly resides in the Political Partnership of Yorubas and Igbos! Let senseless satanic ego stop, to save our Generation from being eternally Enslaved! Even Biafra has a better Chance of coming to Reality after both have tly taken back Power than when the Invaders are still enslaving them because of the Southern myopic Ego!

We Decree that the Satanic Bewitchment that was making Southerners to lose their Chance of True Freedom be Destroyed now by the Consuming Fire of the CREATOR of Humanity

Oshinanjo: Here comes another Chance for serious-minded Igbos and Yorubas to Unite and make Nigeria truly Great again! Even Tinubu is also a better option for all Southerners too. At least the wanton Bloodshed of the Southern People would stop when either of them comes in. The Time of Southern United chance for Freedom is now! Another Invaders' 8 Years of Tears, EnSlavement, Bloodshed and Agony is Unimaginable!!!

Do your Part Today, Copy and Share to all Southerners.
