Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former acting national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hilliard Etta, has revealed why Senator Orji Uzor Kalu cannot become the President of the Senate.<\/p>\n

Etta, while fielding questions on Arise Television\u2019s Morning Show program on Wednesday, claimed that Kalu didn\u2019t contribute much to the party\u2019s success in the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

He claimed that the APC would only reward those who are loyal and have worked hard for the success of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, in the past eight years, and I keep saying this, we have had a party that doesn\u2019t reward hard work and doesn\u2019t reward loyalty. I think the President-elect and the new leadership are beginning on a new slate, a fresh slate where people will be rewarded for their hard work and their loyalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t discussed this, and I don\u2019t want us to go into personality. I want to tell you this: Orji Uzor Kalu is eminently qualified to be the President of the Senate. But even from outside of the party game, I do know that Orji Uzor Kalu didn\u2019t contribute much to the success of the party in this election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The former chairman also dismissed the notion that the South East is marginalized by the APC.<\/p>\n

He justified the exclusion of South East from the Senate Presidency, saying it had occupied the position many times since 1999.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re aware that from 1999 South East has had about four past Senate President; It\u2019s not as if it is a perpetual thing. I have told you that before the party takes a decision, it would have brought a lot of variables to bear.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd talking about the South East, I don\u2019t think the South East has been marginalized by the party. The party hasn\u2019t finished its allocation of offices,\u201d Etta said.<\/p>\n
