A group under the aegis of Orji Uzor Kalu for Senate President has thrown its weight behind the bid of the senator to become the next Senate President of Nigeria

The co-convener of the group Engr. Fredrick Nwoha who made this known in Abuja on Wednesday said that Kalu deserves the position.

He said their position is informed by his his doggedness in upholding the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag against all odds in the Southeast.

The group described Kalu as a pan-Nigerian who stood firm to defend the party’s honour at a time it was not politically fashionable.

They expressed confidence that the relationships built by Senator Kalu across religious and ethnic lines over the years would serve him and the nation well if he is given the chance to occupy the office of Senate President.

The group argued that the culture of “winner takes all” should be discouraged at all costs so as to allow inclusivity and Nigeria’s unity.
