As most politicians across the country are strategizing and jostling for different political offices ahead of 2023 general elections, the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu said unity of Nigeria should be the focus of all Nigerians now, rather than politics of 2023.
Senator Kalu who represents Abia North in the Senate stated this in Abuja on Wednesday while fielding questions from journalists after receiving the traditional title of Kibiya ( Arrow) of Argungu Emirate from the Emir, Alhaji Mohammed Mera.
On the violent secessionist move in the South East, he appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to look passionately on the region.
This is as he urged Governors in the zone to do more in mitigating the crisis in the area.
Responding to a question on whether he would run for Presidency in 2023, Kalu said he prefers to return to the Senate and not contest for the position of President but stressed that what should be of interest to all Nigerians now, is unity of the country.

He however added that come 2023, he prefers to return to the Senate but if Nigerians want him as President, he will be ready to serve in that capacity.
