He said it was the ruling party that selected them based on their qualifications.
Kalu, who made the clarification last night on Channels Television programme, said the party consulted the president-elect and the vice president-elect to come to the decision of choosing them for the positions, because they are major takeholders in the administration of the party.
He said it would be wrong for anybody to say that they were handpicked by Tinubu, adding that if a decision is to be taken, that decisions will be taken by the stakeholders.
