Kalu, who was also vying for the position of Senate President along with other Senators, including former Zamfara State Governor Abdulaziz Yari, urged all Senators of the 10th National Assembly to unite and support the leadership of Godswill Akpabio.
Kalu’s appeal comes in response to media reports suggesting that approximately 22 Senators from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are planning to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a form of protest against the Senate Presidency election results.
The former Senate Majority Whip firmly asserted that the election, which resulted in Akpabio’s victory, was conducted in a transparent, free, and fair manner. Kalu pledged his support and loyalty to the leadership of Akpabio and expressed his unwavering belief that the election outcome accurately represented the will of the Senate.
