The lawmaker, who spoke in an interview with Arise Television on Friday, maintained that, though he is qualified for the position, he has never indicated interest.
He said: “I saw in the newspaper that the G5 governors were projecting me for the position of Senate Minority Leader of the 10th Senate. That story is unfounded. I have never indicated an interest in the position, though I’m qualified. “I have been elected to the National Assembly four times, two times as a House of Reps member and twice as a senator.
“I have never had any discussion with any member of the G-5. The only person I spoke with was the immediate past governor of Rivers State, and he has not mentioned that to me.”
