Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu has suggested to President Muhammadu Buhari to take over the position of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Board of Trustees (BoT) immediately after handing over to the President-elect on May 29.
Kalu made the suggestion after a closed-door meeting with the president at the State House, Abuja.
The chief Whip told State House correspondents that he officially informed the president of his intention to run for the position of the Senate President.
According to him, if the position is zoned to the South East by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), it would stimulate peace in the country.
Kalu, a one-time Governor of Abia, argued that though the zone might not have voted for Sen. Bola Tinubu, the President-elect at the recently concluded Presidential election, making him the Senate President would bring peace and honour to the country.
Kalu equally disclosed that he discussed the stability of the ruling party with the president.
