Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has again urged President Muhammadu Buhari to consider picking the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan as the consensus presidential candidate of APC ahead of 2023 general elections., ABN TV reports.

Sen. Kalu a former governor of Abia State had a few days ago shortly after the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as PDP presidential candidate called on President Muhammadu Buhari to pick Lawan as his successor in order for APC not to embark on political retirement.

In a release on Thursday, Sen. Kalu said Lawan if elected as the country's next President will stabilise the country, secure all parts of it and take its development seriously.

He said, "I urge President Muhammed Buhari to consider giving Nigeria a man who can give the entire country a sense of belonging; fix our economy; secure all parts of the country; take education very seriously, and protect his legacy.

"The man Nigerians can trust is Senator Ahmad Lawan.

"Picking Ahmad Lawan as the consensus candidate of the APC will heal and stabilize the country as it is the closest to equity, justice, and fairness."

He also advised those who think the presidency of the country can be purchased with money to stop throwing their money around.

He said the Nigerian masses will collect the money and still vote their conscience.

"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, 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" he noted.

The lawmaker insists that in the absence of a South-East President, North East is closer to fairness, equity, and justice.

"I strongly believe that the fairness Nigerians need is to produce a president from the South East of Nigeria. In the absence of the South-East, it is the North East.

"These two regions are the only ones yet to produce the president of Nigeria and since the opposition has gone North-East, it is ideal and wise that the APC go North-East.

"I am sure Nigerians will not waste their votes on any candidate that is not from the two regions in the next year's general elections and following years," he concluded.

This man is a total sell out. Calling someone to vie for a post you can as well contest for. Bunch of hypocrite.

starstaz:
Like Azikwe like Kalu. Repeating same 1959 script. Down the line in few years to come will be screaming for help.

LordGuru1:
For Southerners that are not yet braindead, Southern Unity in APC is all that is Needed to save your Land and Generation from been permanently enslaved by the you know who. May be they enjoy being slaughtered like rams by the Invaders, and their wives and daughters being raped, those that can't still see that ALL Southerners MUST Unite to ensure Southern APC Presidency are simply myopic and incorrigibly Senseless.

This tells the whole story about the disadvantage of disunity and intra competitiveness within the South as compared to the largely coordinated strategic North, for those of us, who care to read between the lines.

It is on Record that no Fulani Government ever invited so many Igbo Technocrats from all over the World to join in Governing Nigeria and making Nigeria Great as Obasanjo did. In fact the speedy Greatness and Global Respect which was speedily earned by Nigeria during OBJ Tenure was due to 67% Igbos' Participation in his Government. The truth is Igbos made Nigeria Great then, and we all quickly got back a Glorious Country we were all Proud of!

The most Non-Partisan Regime that brought out the Best in Igbos for the whole World to see was during Obasanjo. The great Uba, Charles Soludo, Okojo Iweala, Kema Chikwe, and so many other wonderful Gifted Igbos shined Bright to the amazement of the whole World, Nigerian Passport then was Visa-free to Many wonderful Countries that I personally visited.

But as soon as Goodluck came in, the Nigeria evious Integrity labouriously built by both Igbos and Yorubas nose-dived and took a free fall. Goodluck killed Nigeria's Glory by encouraging Mediocrity. Combination of Serious-minded Igbos and Yorubas always bring the Best out of Nigeria.

Please, I'm so tired of the disdain with which Immigration Officers of different Countries now look at my Nigerian Passport! The Greatness of Nigeria truly resides in the Political Partnership of Yorubas and Igbos! Let senseless satanic ego stop, to save our upcoming Generation from being eternally Enslaved! Even Biafra has a better Chance of coming to Reality after both have jointly taken back Power than when the Invaders are still enslaving them because of the Southern myopic Ego!

We Decree that the Satanic Bewitchment that was making Southerners to lose their Chance of True Freedom be Destroyed now by the Consuming Fire of the CREATOR of Humanity

Oshinanjo: Here comes another Chance for serious-minded Igbos and Yorubas to Unite and make Nigeria truly Great again! Even Tinubu is also a better option for all Southerners too. At least the wanton Bloodshed of the Southern People would stop when either of them comes in. The Time of Southern United chance for Freedom is now! Another Invaders' 8 Years of Tears, EnSlavement, Bloodshed and Agony is Unimaginable!!!
