Senate Chief Whip and 2023 presidential aspirant, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said that despite his friendship with another aspirant, BolaTinubu, he will give account of himself when they meet in a debate on why they want to run for the election.
Kalu, stressing on his friendship with Tinubu recalled how he ran into problems with former President, Olusegun Obasanjo due to their friendship.
Kalu said his problem with Obasanjo started after he helped Tinubu win his re-election in 2003.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain disclosed that he stepped in to help Tinubu who was lagging behind in 2003.
On Silverbird Television on Friday, Kalu insisted that they are not threat to each other’s ambition.
He noted that they are very close friends, but that despite their friendship, he will always give a good account of himself in a debate with Tinubu.
According to Kalu: “So we are like a family and politics cannot separate us. In 2003 when Tinubu was seeking re-election and I saw that he was lagging behind, I assisted him and it’s part of what caused my problem with former President Obasanjo.
“So we’re a family and we cannot quarrel because of politics. He might have his idea on how to do it and I might have my own idea on how to do it.
“But all I know is that if we meet at Eagle Square, I will give a very good account of myself.”
