Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North senatorial District has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has only one presidential candidate in 2027.
Kalu, who emphasized the need for an Igbo man becoming the president, however, said it won’t be in 2027, adding that President Bola Tinubu “must complete 8 years” in office.
The former Governor of Abia State stated this in an interview, insisting that when Tinubu completes his eight years in office, the Igbo must present an acceptable candidate to all Nigerians.
“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 said.
The lawmaker reiterates that, APC has only one presidential candidate, and Tinubu has to do eight years. It’s a must. He however stressed that he’s not going to discuss anything about the Igbo presidency.
“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.”
“But as a party, we have mandated him to run and given him a vote of confidence. The National Executive Council has given him a vote of confidence, through a motion proposed by the Governor of Imo State and announced by Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, who is the National Chairman of the party.”
