The Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu has revealed that only the president elect Senator Bola Tinubu can instruct him to withdraw his presidential ambition in the 10th National Assembly.
He made this revelation on Tuesday March 28 following a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari over his political ambition.
He said the two of them only expressed laughter over the issue as the president did not give a Green light.
The former Governor of Abia State said no one has assured him of support but he has the hope that he will emerge the Senate President.
He said he solves the problem of looking for South East Senate President.
“It is just God that saved our party because the quarrel and rancour inside the party is so much. The party should bring back our Board of Trustees or something that looks like it so that Mr President will be Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party so that every four or five months, he will come and see how the party is doing,” Kalu said.
“We cannot just leave the party empty-handed. The President will still be part of the conscience of the party so that we will have somebody to run to when we have problems in the party.
“It is just God that saved our party, that is the truth because the quarrel and rancour inside the party are so much. We need a man like President Buhari to be around every three or four months, we’ll go and drag him from Daura and he will settle party matters.”
