2023: Nothing Wrong With Muslim- Muslim Ticket- Orji Uzor Kalu Says It Is The Only Option | VIDEO
The Senate Majority Whip and Senator representing Abia North, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu has assented that the presidential flag bearer of APC, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu should go ahead and choose a Muslim member as his running mate.
Kalu said this during an interview about the just concluded APC presidential primary with the Senate press members on Wednesday in Abuja.
Speaking, Kalu said that he is very satisfied with result of the primary, because it was transparent, open and people voted one by one, adding that without this kind of primary, there would have been a lot of fractions.
He also stated that his own group, Ahmed Lawan group were not ready for the primary because they wanted the party to go for a concensus candidate.
He said that the next step for them in APC is to work for Tinubu which is the only alternative, ” I’m a party Man and I’m sure that most of you here knows that and I don’t shy away from people. Now the way I fought for Lawan is still the way I will fight for Tinubu.
” I’m a party Man, if I disagree,I disagree, if I agree, I agree. So, the most important thing now is that I have agreed that Tinubu won and the whole party agreed too, there is no doubt about the winning,so we will all have to go to the field and work
” I pray that my constituency and south east will give us their support as they gave Buhari 80% votes.
” I told people that they don’t know Buhari, he is not going to take sides and that is good for Nigerians, president and leaders to face democracy not only for president, for governors not to take side.
” You have have seen that when I was Abia State Governor, I ensured that my own candidate won.
” Speaking the truth, if I’m in Tinubu’s shoes, I will choose Muslim. The wife is a senior pastor in a pentecostal church and she’s like the Vice president, the most important thing is for the party to win. So in my own opinion, let him go for Muslim which is the only option left for him today.
“I go to catholic church but I don’t see anything wrong with Muslim-Muslim because Tinubu is a minority Muslim from the south and can not pick minority christian from the north so you can not play two minorities” Kalu said.
