Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the Senate Chief Whip, has said that Nigerian presidency can only be won through consensus and not money.
The lawmaker said that the late MKO Abiola would have achieved his presidential ambition if money could buy the highest political seat in the country.
He said that delegates would not allow money stop them from choosing the candidate of their choice.
The former Abia State Governor revealed this opinion through a Facebook post.
The lawmaker wrote: “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, the 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.”
