Constituents disown Orji Kalu for advocating Muslim/Muslim ticket for Tinubu, running mate

Senate chief whip and senator representing Abia north Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has been disowned by his constituents for asking APC presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu to pick a fellow Muslim as his running mate.

Kalu had insisted that there was nothing wrong if Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, runs a muslim-muslim ticket.

He said that it would be politically naive for Tinubu, a minority Muslim from the south-west to choose a minority Christian from the north as his running mate.

But, in a swift response, his constituents dismissed Kalu’s remarks as shameful and disappointing, saying he only spoke for himself and his pocket.
