The incumbent Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji kalu has declared his interest to emerge the next Senate President of Nigeria.
He said this in a chat with newsmen on Tuesday.
According to him, with his position as the Chief Whip of the ninth Senate, he is the most ranking Senator from the South East and therefore deserves the position.
The former Abia State Governor urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the seat to his village in Igbere in Abia North Senatorial District.
Kalu was also quoted to have said he is the only one who has never changed phone number since he became Governor 24 years ago.
“The same MTN I have is what I’m having and I will be willing to still maintain that phone number to answer to my calls. I’m not going to switch off my phones, because I’m Senate President but I’m hoping that Nigerian people will pray for me to be Senate President because it’s my turn”, he said.
“I’m hoping that Nigerians will pray for me to become Senate President because it’s my turn.”
Kalu was recently declared the winner of the Abia North Senatorial district election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
