Senate Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, has denied knowledge of the list which named him as Director-General of the Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organisation.
The list which emerged on Thursday, also named the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode as the spokesman of the organization.
The former governor of Abia State, said he was not aware of the development, adding that there is no authorization from appropriate quarters to the effect.
He said, “My attention has been drawn to a list of committee Chairmen of Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organization in which I was also mentioned as the Director-General,” Kalu said.
“The list should be disregarded as no authorization was given to the effect of its publication.
“As the chairman of the meeting held at my instance, it is important to notify the general public that we are not yet in the Campaign proper. A committee will be inaugurated to that effect once our most preferred candidate, Senator Ahmad Lawan emerges as the presidential candidate of APC.
“I am also running for election in my senatorial district and would rather recommend a sitting governor who is not running for an election to chair the campaign team at the right time.
“Several private visitors who were not even part of the meeting were also reported to have been in attendance. Senator Betty Apiafi just as Senator Uche Ekwunife who visited on a different bipartisan matter concerning the senate was also mentioned.
“It is mischief to have included these names as part of Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organization.”
