The Chief Whip of Nigeria’s 9th Senate, has made an interesting revelation about his relationship with The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Speaking with newsmen at the National Assembly Complex on Tuesday, the former Governor of Abia State, Kalu said that the presidency is not a regional or ethnic issue.
He said that the winner must get his vote from other geopolitical regions.
He stated that for an Igbo man to emerge as President they have to work with other Nigerians.
According to Kalu, no matter how popular the candidate is, if the person does not work with others it’s not going to work.
He said even though as an Igbo man he was not nominated for the presidency, he does not hold grudges against anybody who is running.
The lawmaker added that he would support the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu who is the candidate of the APC, a party to which he also belongs.
Kalu said elections are along the party line and not along the tribal line, so he has to support Tinubu.
Kalu, while expatiating on his relationship with Obi, explained that the former governor’s daughter would be getting married soon and his daughter will be serving as her chiefs bridesmaid.
He, however, explained that despite their close relationship his allegiance still lies with Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
