Former senator representing Abia North Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, Mao Ohuabunwa has opposed the Senate Presidency ambition of Orji Kalu.
Ohuabunwa, who was a guest on Channels TV argued that, Kalu who is the current member representing Abia North Senatorial District in the red chambers has a pending case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and has previously been convicted and as such shouldn’t be given a shot at the senate presidency.
When asked how he would feel should Kalu emerge as the next Senate President, Ohuabunwa said;
“I will feel terrible because I don’t believe that he is competent to represent the Senate. He has not won the election so I wouldn’t want a Senate President that will be removed tomorrow. He has so much baggage with him. He still has an EFCC case in court, don’t forget that he was convicted. He wasn’t discharged. I am wondering why the EFCC is still holding back on that prosecution.”
