‘He Has Too Much Baggage’ – Ohuabunwa Opposes Orji Kalu’s Interest In Becoming Senate President

Mao Ohuabunwa, a former lawmaker from Abia North Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, has spoken out against the possible election of Orji Uzor Kalu as Senate President for the 10th National Assembly.

In an interview with Channels TV on Monday, Ohuabunwa stated that Kalu is incompetent, has a pending case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and has previously been convicted, and thus is unfit to be Senate President.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls Kalu has openly declared his interest in emerging as the next Senate President and even stated that it is his turn. He went ahead to request the All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the senate presidency to his region.

But Ohuabunwa has opposed the Senate President’s ambition of Orji Kalu. He also called on the EFCC to stop holding back on prosecuting the former Abia State Governor.

When asked how he would feel should Kalu emerge as the next Senate President, Ohuabunwa said;

I will feel terrible because I don’t believe that he is competent to represent the Senate.”

He has not won the election so I wouldn’t want a Senate President that will be removed tomorrow. He has so much baggage with him. He still has an EFCC case in court, don’t forget that he was convicted. He wasn’t discharged. I am wondering why the EFCC is still holding back on that prosecution.
