Tinubu is not on sick bed–orji Uzor Kalu vows
Former Abia state Governor and Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has said that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is not on sick bed. He stated this at a church service in Abuja the federal capital territory.
Speaking during the celebration of Mass to mark his 63rd birthday in Abuja, presided over by the Metropolitan Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Ignatius Kaigama, Kalu said: “Our President-elect is not sick. It is not true that he’s sick. I don’t want to say much. He is in good health; he is himself.”
Recalling a conversation that ensued between him and his colleague in the Senate regarding the President-elect’s health, Kalu said: “One of my colleagues said yesterday he heard that the President-elect, Tinubu, was in the hospital. I told him the incoming president was not in the hospital; it is not true that he is in hospital. We argued. He is a senior member of the Senate and my former colleague as governor, but of another party. He disagreed with me in my house yesterday. I told him the President-elect was okay.”
Kalu said Tinubu would be arriving Nigeria before the end of the month, declaring: “He is in good health. He is just resting and taking his time to be able to plan his government because there is a lot of task to be done. We have a lot of problems on our hands. We have problem of economy; we have problem of disagreement, people-by-people; we have the problem of security which is awesome. We need to tackle it as soon as possible.”
Orji Uzor Kalu has been in public glare having lost his wife of over three decades some few weeks ago.
He is also eyeing and laying entitlement claim to position of the Senate president claiming that it is his turn( Emi Lo Kan) to be the Senate president of the federal republic of Nigeria.
