Former Governor of Abia State and Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has slammed other presidential apirants in his All Progressives Congress (APC) who had gone to inform President Muhammadu Buhari about their intentions as not serious-minded.
Kalu threw the darts at the aspirants in an interview with journalists at the National Assembly on Wednesday.
He said those already pushing werre not being fair to the feelings of Nigerians.
“They are not serious. A serious-minded person will like to be fair to Nigeria, to be fair to the society and be fair to the atmosphere because this party is not owned by me or by you the press people. It is only APC people that can decide where the party ticket will go to.”
Kalu had, last week, announced his intention to run for the coveted seat of Nigeria’s presidency if his APC zones the office to the South.
“I have the capacity and capability, I will roll and rock like the hurricane,” he said.
Kalu’s declaration came a few days after former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with President Buhari to express his interest in the top job.
The Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi had also met with Buhari to declare his ambition to take over from him in 2023.
