Former Abia State governor and Senator representing Abia North, Orji Kalu, has declared that he would accept the Senate presidency if offered by President Bola Tinubu but would not lobby for the position.

According to Daily Post, Kalu made the disclosure on Monday during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme.

“For me, I want to do what I’m doing. The first priority is God. The second priority is the leadership of our party. The leader of the party is President Tinubu. And thirdly, I have no ambition. If anything is given to me, I will take,” he said.

Kalu maintained that his immediate priority remained legislative duties and mentoring younger politicians for future leadership responsibilities.

“If I’m given Senate presidency in my house, I would take it. I’m not going to ask anybody for it. I’m very comfortable with what I do,” he added.

He reiterated his unwillingness to seek the position. Orji Kalu
