POLITICS NIGERIA reports that he made the declaration during a visit to the Nigeria Union of Journalists headquarters in Abuja.
Asserting himself as the most qualified candidate for Senate presidency, Osita expressed his belief that he would ascend to the position with the divine favour of God.
“I am the next Senate president by the special Grace of God, but that doesn’t mean that we are not talking to other people,” he said.
