Ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly, former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani Kayode has endorsed the Chief Whip of the Senate, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu for senate president and Senator Sani Musa as deputy senate president, saying the Red Chamber will be safe in their hands.

He wrote: “Senator Orji Kalu and Senator Sani Musa are both very close to me and I am proud to call them my brothers.

“I believe that the Nigerian Senate would be safe hands in their hands as Senate President and Deputy Senate President.

“Their loyalty to our great party the APC and to our leader and President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is unambiguous, total, and second to none and they are both seasoned, brilliant, courageous, tough, wise, and experienced public officers.

“What an extraordinary combination they would make as Senate President and Deputy Senate President respectively. This would be innovative and refreshing.

“Under their leadership, the opposition parties would have sleepless nights, the Senate would be strong, bold, and reliable, the APC would flourish and go from strength to strength and the Nigerian people would be the better for it.
