Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has said he would quit the All Progressives Congress if President Bola Tinubu ever showed disrespect toward the opposition or the Catholic Church.
The senator representing Abia North made the statement during Wednesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, amid the ongoing controversy over Tinubu’s meeting with Catholic bishops as highlighted by John Cardinal Onaiyekan.
Kalu, a former governor of Abia State, defended the President, insisting that Tinubu did not insult the Catholic bishops and therefore had nothing to apologise for.
“Any day President Tinubu has disrespect for the opposition, or has disrespect for the Catholic Church, I’d resign from the APC. The President can never insult the Catholic bishop, knowing him. The President didn’t say anything that needs apology. If there is anything wrong the Presidency has done, he should apologise,” Kalu said.
He described Tinubu as a longstanding friend of the Catholic Church and said there was nothing wrong with the bishops openly expressing concerns to the President.
