If I’m Elected Senate President, My 1st Name Will Be Team Nigeria & My Last Name Will Be Team Nigeria – Orji Kalu 

The Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Kalu has told his party to zone the Senate President position to his constituency, saying it is his turn to be President of the Senate in the 10th National Assembly.

Kalu won his re-election to represent Abia North Senatorial District in the February 25 National Assembly Election.

He was the Chief Whip of the Senate in the 9th Assembly and as both elected and re-elected lawmakers are looking forward to constituting the 10th Assembly, each of them is now jostling for available leadership positions and juicy committee.

While addressing some selected journalists at the National Assembly on Tuesday, the former Abia governor urged his party, the All Progressive Congress to zone the Senate presidency to his region.

He said: “If I’m elected Senate President, My first name will be team Nigeria, and my last name will be team Nigeria.”

Speaking further, Kalu stated:

“It is my turn to become the Senate President. If I’m elected Senate President, I will be team Nigeria. I’m going to work in every corner of Nigeria,” the ex-Abia governor said.

“I schooled in Maiduguri, Borno State. I started my business in Lagos and spread it across all state capitals. My first name will be team Nigeria, my last name will be team Nigeria,” he said.
