A former Aviation Minister, Mbazulike Amaechi has slammed
Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu, for endorsing the Presidential candidacy of the
Senate President, Ahmad Lawan.
Amaechi said Kalu is not relevant to the 2023 Presidential
aspiration of the South-East.
Recently, Kalu withdrew from the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Presidential race and backed Lawan’s ambition.
The former Abia State Governor said he decided to withdraw
from the race because APC has no zoning arrangement.
Reacting to the development, Amaechi said the likes of Orji
Kalu can’t make any difference to the pursuit of a Nigerian President of Igbo
extraction.
“Orji Uzor Kalu and his likes have the right to support
anybody they want to support for the President of Nigeria in the 2023 Presidential
election. They are, however, not so relevant in Igbo land; they can’t make any
difference.
“If such people who have no relevance in South-East are
saying otherwise to the demand of their people, how do you blame them? They
cannot make any difference and so nobody should lose sleep about their actions
and utterances, you may not even know what their plans are,” he told Vanguard.
