CHIEF WHIP OF THE SENATE SAYS HIS TIME HAS COME TO BE SENATE PRESIDENT.

The Chief Whip of the Senate Orji Kalu has stated that it is his turn to be President of the Senate in the 10th National Assembly.

The former Governor of Abia State while addressing newsmen at the National Assembly asked his party the All Progressives Congress APC to zone the seat to his district, pledging that if elected he will be team Nigeria and he is going to work in every corner of the country.

With his position as the Chief Whip of the ninth Senate, Kalu said he is the most ranking Senator from the South East and therefore deserves the position.

The APC has not officially zoned the seat of the leadership positions of the National Assembly for the 10th Assembly but some federal lawmakers elect including the Governor of Ebonyi State Dave Umahi have unofficially indicated an interest in running for leadership positions.
