Nigerians have been appealed upon to support the South East to produce the President of the 10th Senate for justice, fairness and equity.
Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu who is a frontline contender for the position of the Senate President in the 10th National Assembly made this appeal in a newspaper advert Tuesday, stating that Nigeria stands on a tripod, namely, Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba, pointing out that the place of the Igbo should be accommodated.
Kalu who also urged Nigerians to support the incoming government of President-elect, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, implored Nigerians to keep hope alive with Tinubu to build a new Nigeria with global influence.
“As we look forward to the inauguration of our dear President-Elect , H.E Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu on May 29th, we implore all Nigerians to keep hope alive and to extend all necessary supports the incoming administration will need to have a renewed Nigerian with global influence.
“As we also look forward to composition of the 10th Senate leadership, I appeal for the support of all Nigerians to be elected the President of the 10th Senate.
“I possess the vision, consensus building, charisma, experience, credibility, competence, humility and pragmatism to partner with the executive and build a new Nigeria.
“Nigeria is a country built on a tripod, (Igbo,Hausa and Yoruba) and it is right that everyone is given a sense of belonging and the South East deserves to be supported by all other regions to produce the President of the 10th Senate for equity, justice and fairness.
“As the President of the Senate, I will drive a harmonious relationship with the executive and judiciary for an effective service delivery to the nation.
“One thing is indubitably certain: by working together in unity and mutual love and respect, we can take Nigeria to real next level of peace, progress, and development.” The Senate Chief whip said.
