Former Abia State Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu yesterday declared that the Igbo will not compromise for any other position other than the post of the President in 2015.

Fielding questions from newsmen shortly after he delivered a lecture on “Leadership: Key factor to a better Nigeria” at the Professor David Ijalaiye annual lecture series organized by the Equity Chambers of the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile Ife, Dr. Kalu stated that the Igbo will not settle for any other position.

His words “In 2015 what will happen is that the Igbo will vote for the Igbo, Yoruba for Yoruba and Hausa vote for Hausa. Then, we will all come to Abuja to discuss and determine who should be Nigerian President.”

“Anybody who thinks that there is going to be a straight ballot thing to produce the President in 2015 is only fooling himself ,” he added.

The former presidential candidate of the Progressive Peoples Alliance said although he was currently not in any political party he will continue to fight against injustice and all that is in the interest of the good people of the country.

In his lecture, Dr Kalu recalled that since 1967 when the military came into governance in the country, Nigeria had not been able to produce any good leader, as according to him most of them are either not prepared for the office or reluctant to take over the leadership of the country.

HNosegbe: His words “In 2015 what will happen is that the Igbo will vote for the Igbo, Yoruba for Yoruba and Hausa vote for Hausa. Then, we will all come to Abuja to discuss and determine who should be Nigerian President.”

OYINBOGOJU: Igbo my foot

Selfish greedy people always looking for personal interest elevating curruption at its best.

Mr. Orji can you list some of your achievement when you were Governor for good 8 years while getting fat allocation from FG?

Tufiakwa

HNosegbe: Kalu should go and sit down joor... I'm giving my vote to the most credible candidate, Igbo or not.

afam4eva:
THis is what i hear from most Igbos...i wish people from other tribes can thing like you. Unfortunately most Nigerians vote along tribal lines. That's why Igbos have been the biggest casualty in the political game.

HNosegbe:

That is the mentality we must evolve from... "My brother and sister" politics. I will wait to see the manifestoes and track records of people who will contest the election before I decide who gets it. Kalu is wasting his breath.

acidtalk: Sure orji!!!
But that's only the likes of YOU and your other kinsmen don't sell out your fellow Ibo brothers this time around.

Ibos main enemies are the fellow Ibo.
They so much hate seeing their brothers Progress.

goofie:

i dont think its about the tribe but about who is more qualified and credible enough to rule this troubled nation.

afam4eva:
Do you have any proof of this or you just like making unsubstantiated commnets. Tell me what makes you to see Igbos in that light.

unekwubaby: it will be very easy for a head of a camel to pass through the eyes of a nedle(abere)than a real IGBO man (not delta igboooo)to become the president of nigeria

afam4eva: One thing i like about Orji Uzor Kalu is the he's one of the few Igbo leader left that won't compromise. That's not to say that he's totally clean.

afam4eva:
Now tell me the qualified people that have been ruling this country since after the civil war. Mind you there's no region in this country that does not have qualified people.
