From all indications, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is battling Senator Godswill Akpabio over who becomes the Senate President.

Sources said more senators-elect are now supporting Orji Uzor Kalu and Abdulaziz Yari’s camp.

Orji Kalu has been telling newsmen that he had joined forces with Yari, towards achieving his political ambition, when the 10th National Assembly is inaugurated next week.

We gathered that about 22 senators-elect accompanied Yari to Daura to pay a congratulatory visit to the former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Insiders added that: “Senator Yari came with over 20 Senators-elect to visit President Buhari, to congratulate him for his successful tenure in office and pray for his good health.”

“That gesture by Senator Yari demonstrates humility, reverence and love towards the former President, it shows his respect for elders and that is a mark of true statesmanship and leadership.”

“The team were well-received by a very jovial former President Buhari. The meeting was very lively and the team assured the former President that they were not in confrontation but committed to strengthening the legislative arm of government.”

“At no point did President Buhari make any comment in disapproval of his guests.”
