Kalu Mobilises For Buhari To Become President Of APC After Leaving Office

In a radical departure from the proposals on solving the crisis in the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senate Majority Leader, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has proposed an alteration of the party’s constitution to allow President Muhammadu Buhari to become the president of the party after he leaves office next year.

Orji Kalu who has been championing the postponement of the party’s long-delayed national convention proposed that the APC should adopt the model of the African National Congress, ANC in South Africa where a president of the ANC holds office independent of the president of the republic.

Pushing forward his proposal for the postponement of the convention and alteration of the party’s constitution, Kalu said:

“I still stand by my words that the APC convention should be postponed.

“I have a lot of respect for our people and they have to give me an alternative view to have a change of mind that what they are saying is real.

“What I am saying is a better atmosphere than what they are saying: I know what I am saying, they might not be seeing what I am seeing.

“As a party, we should not cause trouble for ourselves.

“I believe that the best thing to do is to protect democracy and our party, the APC.

“I also call on the National Executive Committee of the party to reaffirm our constitution to put a President of the Republic and President of the party.

“I want us to adopt the ANC method, where you might be president of Nigeria and not the president of the party.

“So, I want us to test run it when President Muhammadu Buhari leaves in 2023, for Buhari to become president of the party and there will be president of the republic,’’ Kalu said of his proposal for Buhari to head the APC after stepping down.
