Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu has called on Senators jostling to become Senate President of the 10th Assembly to focus more on the difference they can make if elected.
Kalu, in a statement today posted on his Facebook page he personally signed, noted that to progress as a nation, people of Nigeria must shun hatred, lies and propaganda.
The former Abia Governor who is a contender for the Senate Presidency Seat, alleged that he was being gossiped and blackmailed with people using his name for buying and selling because of the Senate Presidency race.
He therefore implored Senators who are angling for the Senate Presidency position to focus more on the difference they can make in the Senate instead of wasting their energies on blackmail.
Kalu said “June 13, the National Assembly would be electing a new leadership to spearhead the affairs of the i 10th Senate.
“As the race continues to gain the attention of all Nigerians, I implore my dear colleagues who have interest in the Presidency of the senate to focus more on the difference they can make rather than exerting energy on blackmails.
“To progress and succeed as a nation, we must shun hatred, lies and propaganda. People are telling lies against my person; using my name for gossip, buying and selling. Because of position, people have embarked on high level and low level character assassination and defamation of Orji Uzor Kalu.
“We should always remember God’s authority in our lives. We should remember that the life we live is not for ourselves alone but for God and to then accommodate other people.
“We should remember that any wealth, power, or strength we have originated from God. Any gift or talent we have – the same is true (James 1:17; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11). Even our ability to give generously comes from God (Deuteronomy 8:18; 2 Corinthians 9:10-11). Everything we have, and everything else that exists, is all His. When we know and embrace this, we would be better people with better minds”.
