Former Abia State governor, Senator Orji Kalu has dropped a bombshell.

He said: “Most of these people are just jealous and hatred of a man from a small community, Senator Ahmad Lawan coming to be president of Nigeria.”

“And that is the beauty of constitutional democracy; that is what we should see as the face of Nigeria – a man like Ahmad Lawan who had never been a governor like me will spring up from somewhere to become the president.”

“The governors have already addressed the president and the president told them his views. They are not courageous enough to tell us what the president told them.”

“Some of the northern governors have been promised the vice-presidential slot, their decision to zone presidency to the south is about interest.”

“These people should leave all this petty jealousy. It is about interest. Some of them want to be president. Some of them want to be vice-president.”

“They know once Ahmad Lawan is selected now, as it has been done, they know it is closed down for them.”

“They are not going to be vice-president and president. It is about interest. Some of them have been promised vice-president. I know about five governors there that have been promised vice-president; I have it on good authority.”

“Some of the governors have been promised vice-president. So, let them leave personal interest for Nigerian interest.”
