The Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Kalu met with the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, Bola Tinubu on Saturday afternoon in his Abuja residence.
Both leaders met to discuss about the problems, unity and future of Nigeria. Speaking on the meeting, Kalu disclosed;
“My brother, long time friend and fellow Political associate, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu early this afternoon paid us a cordial visit at my Abuja residence. We spent more than four hours discussing the security, unity and progress of the country. We also used the opportunity to reflect on other issues of national importance. God bless Nigeria,” Kalu wrote on his verified Facebook page.
Though Tinubu has yet to declare his intention to contest any office in 2023, there have been reports and veiled indications that he might be interested in the exalted seat.
POLITICS NIGERIA recalls that SouthWest Agenda 2023, a political movement mobilising support for Tinubu to contest the 2023 presidential election, was inaugurated in Lagos in October by State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and other party chieftains.
Tinubu, who celebrated his 69th birthday in March 2021, commands an arguably large following of political loyalists. He has been rumoured to nurse a presidential ambition in 2023, even as political debates get intense for a Southern President after the eight-year administration of the incumbent, Muhammadu Buhari who is from Katsina State, North-West Nigeria.
Some groups and persons have also said aside from Tinubu, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo; Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi; and Fashola are equally capable to be Nigeria’s President.
On the other hand, some Easterners have been pushing for the candidacy of Kalu.
Hhmmn, my only concern here is why in Abuja?
I don’t care who visited who or for what purposes but, I repeat, why SHOULD every politician own & in the Federal Capital; or why is it SO DIFFICULT for Senators and Reps to return to their constituencies and hold regular meetings and townhalls?
Abuja will become another Lagos SLUM, sooner than later; if it hasn’t already that is!
Tinubu was a senator. In 1999 the two were governors of their states for eight years. Currently Kalu is(in the red chamber of the national assembly)a senator and Asiwaju is the APC national leader. They have tried in those years. For goodness sake both of them should go and rest. They should allow younger people to lead this country. KALU, TINUBU AND OTHERS that have been in government since 1999 should serve as ADVISERS to the ….
