The Senate
Chief Whip, Senator Orji Kalu, on Monday said that he would not hesitate to
serve as Nigeria’s President if given the opportunity by the electorate.
Kalu made the
remark in Minna during a private visit to two former leaders of the country,
Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (Rtd) and Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd).
“I am still
in the Senate, and I will seek for re-election into the senate but if our
people want me to serve as President I will not hesitate,” he said.
He said that
there was no zoning in the APC constitution, adding that any person in the
party can contest for the position of the President.
“Zoning is
not a constitutional matter in APC, any person can contest any post in APC,” he
said.
On the issue
of insecurity in Nigeria, he alleged that there was sabotage in the country’s
security system.
“It seems
that there is a lot of sabotage in our security system,” he said.
The Chief
Whip, who was a former governor of Abia expressed optimism that the National
Assembly would continue to collaborate with the executive in tackling the
security challenges in the country.
“We will
address the issue of sabotage in the Nigeria security system,” he said.
