Apparently determined to concretise his ambition, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, yesterday, was at the State House, Abuja, where he met with President Muhammadu Buhari to officially inform him of his decision to run for the office of the Senate President if the position is zoned to the South East by the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In seeking President Buhari’s endorsement, Kalu, who is the current Chief Whip of the Senate, said zoning the position to the South East would bring desired peace to Nigeria.

He noted that the zone may not have voted overwhelmingly for Bola Tinubu, the President-elect, at the just concluded presidential election, but electing him as president of the Senate would engender desired peace being sought after by the country.

He further said that he suggested to the president to take over the position of APC’s Board of Trustees (BoT), immediately after officially handing over to the President-elect later in the year.

He said the ruling party is faced with serious crises ahead of the just concluded general elections, adding that Buhari’s interventions saved APC from going under.

Kalu also said it took God’s intervention for APC to survive its internal crises. Hear him: “I suggested to the president that we cannot allow him to rest. I’m going to be consulting with the party.

“The party should bring back our BoT or something that looks like it, so that the President will be Chairman of the board so that every four or five months, he will come and see how the party is doing.”
