The Senate Chief Whip and lawmaker representing the Abia North Senatorial District, Sen. Orji Uzor kalu has debunked news being peddled around, where he was described as the Director-General of an All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential aspirant and Senate President, Sen. Ahamd Lawan.
The former Abia State governor, in a statement that he personally issued on Thursday night, however, described the news of being Lawan’s campaign DG as fake.
This is even as he stated that a meeting held at his instance in his home.
Sen. Kalu who has been able to deliver democratic dividends to the people of Abia North in the first four years of his representation of his constituents in the Red arm of the national Assembly frowned at the inclusion of the names of Sen. Uche Ekwunife and Senator Betty Apiafi (who he disclosed visited his home on a different bipartisan matter concerning the senate) to the list of the senators in a meeting that held in his Abuja home.
Sen. Kalu who stated that he was focused on ensuring that he wins his senatorial election, disclosed that he would rather prefer a governor that is serving out his term to occupy such position.
Sen. Kalu who has never hidden his unflinching support for the presidential aspiration of the Senate President who Kalu described as his bossom friend and roommate wrote “My attention has been drawn to a list of committee Chairmen of Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organization in which I was also mentioned as the Director General.
“The list should be disregarded as no authorization was given to the effect of its publication.
“As the Chairman of the meeting held at my instance, it is important to notify the general public that we are not yet in the Campaign proper.
“A committee will be inaugurated to that effect once our most preferred candidate, Senator Ahmad Lawan emerges as the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I am also running for election in my senatorial district and would rather recommend a sitting Governor who is not running for an election to chair the campaign team at the right time .
“Several private visitors who were not even part of the meeting were also reported to have been in attendance.
“Senator Betty Apiafi just as Senator Uche Ekwunife who visited on a different bipartisan matter concerning the senate was also mentioned.
