2027: Tinubu hasn’t indicated interest, APC already has candidate – Orji Kalu

A Nigerian federal lawmaker, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has
said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has only one presidential
candidate in 2027.

 

Kalu, who emphasised 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 said this on the Monday
edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, insisting that when Tinubu
completes his eight years in office, the Igbo must present 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 said.

 

He added: “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.

 

“But as a party, we have mandated him to run and given him a
vote of confidence. The NEC 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.”
