A frontline socio-cultural group, Ozuruigbo worldwide, has backed Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for the position of the President of the 10th Senate, saying he is “the final and most exquisite choice”.
The group slammed Imo West Senatorial District Senator-elect, Osita Izunaso for attempting to jeopardize the interest of the South-East geopolitical zone, saying: “It is a political abomination for Osita Izunaso to rankle shoulder with Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.”
The group in a statement signed by its President General, Dr. Batos Nwadike, titled ‘Time To Tell, The World, The Plain Truth’ urged the senators-elect to reject Senator Osita Izunaso, describing him as the opposite of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu in terms of integrity, character, loyalty, capacity, capability and fear of God.
The statement said:
We discussed top on our agenda the inauguration of the 10th Senate and its leadership.
“That without question or thinking twice H.E Senator Orji Kalu is the final and most exquisite choice for the position of Senate President. He is the only 1999 Governor returning to the Senate from the South East.
“It is a political abomination in the South East for Osita Izunaso to rankle shoulder with him or anybody of his ranking.
“Ozuruigbo worldwide makes bold to state to the Senators-elect that we know and we clearly understand these two personalities in terms of integrity, character, loyalty, capacity and capability, fear of God, patriotism and nationalism. The Plain Truth that must be told is that Osita Izunaso failed all the test on all indices.
“We urge our Senators-elect to move on courageously and with patriotism and give our 10th Senate a deserving and befitting leadership devoid of treachery, blackmailer, wickedness, greediness, disloyalty, avarice and any known vice of disnobleness. A leadership that will make our country and people proud.”
