Kalu, who is the Chief Whip of the Senate , had , while addressing journalists on Saturday , said , “I have known him ( Buhari ) now for 32 years ; he and former military President ( Ibrahim ) Babangida . . “He has not changed . Think of it… a man that ruled Nigeria as military head of state and has no house in Abuja or Lagos . He does not have a house in Port Harcourt or Ibadan . . “If you go to his house in Daura , it is the same house , the same small house he built long ago . “The television I saw there when I went there last year for Sallah – that television must have been bought in 1973 .” .
