Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has affirmed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has only one presidential candidate for the 2027 election—President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking on political program on Channels Television, the former Abia State governor stated that Tinubu must complete two terms in office.
However, he maintained that an Igbo leader should emerge in the future, provided the region presents an acceptable candidate to all Nigerians.
“I am not going to discuss anything about the Igbo presidency. But I still tell you there is a need for it.
“The Igbo must present an acceptable candidate to all Nigerians. No one zone can make a president. President Tinubu was not elected by the Yoruba. He was elected by all Nigerians,” Kalu stated.
The senator hailed the economic improvements under Tinubu’s administration, arguing that his leadership should continue for a second term.
“Well, in our party, we have only one presidential candidate now. And Tinubu has to do eight years. It’s a must.
“You can see the repairs he has done to the economy and things are starting to pick up again. This president is not even doing politics. He has never told anybody he wants to run for election or not,” Kalu said.
He further revealed that the APC’s National Executive Council has already endorsed Tinubu’s re-election bid, following a motion proposed by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma at its last meeting. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
