….’Orji Kalu best man for Senate job’
Following reports that All Progressives Congress, APC, may likely not zone the leadership of the Senate to the South-East, the party has been cautioned against bypassing the South-East region.
This call was made by US-based Nigerian-American businessman, Mr David Adodo.
He also cautioned that marginalizing the South-East in the zoning of offices could affect some of the gains recorded in the democratic process.
Hence he called on stakeholders, including the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, not to make the mistake of further marginalizing the Igbo, saying Nigeria stands on a tripod.
He noted that the present political situation in the country requires great caution in the choice of the next Senate President.
Adodo, who spoke from his Baltimore base, said, “the tripod of the nation rested on the three major political zones of the country and shouldn’t be destroyed now to avoid undue further marginalization of the Igbo who are already agitating for a Nation of their own from Nigeria.
“In the interest of unity and for purpose of cohesion and to assuage agitation, the Igbos deserves to be allowed to produce the next Senate President.”
Adodo further said Senator Orji Uzor is the most suitable among the contenders from the South-East.
“Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, a former Governor of Abia State and current Chief Whip of the Senate is the best man for the job because of antecedents and experience,” he added.
Continuing, Adodo who mobilised support for Tinubu, urged the incoming President to ensure “APC does not make mistake of ignoring the Igbos in this National political calculations and permutations.”
