Former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu on Tuesday said no Igbo man can win the presidency in 2023, ostensibly writing off Dr. Peter Obi’s chances.

Obi, Labour Party’s Presidential candidate is seeking to become president in 2023, with a huge social media followership base.

He has no single structure to drive his ambition, but he believes that the people are his structure.

But Kalu, Chief Whip of the Senate while briefing newsmen at the National Assembly complex on Tuesday said the presidency was not a regional issue, saying he asked then that the political parties to zone the presidency to the South East.

“When they didn’t do that, and since presidency is not a regional issue, I had to withdraw. I have no problem with Igbo man being president. But we have to do it with other Nigerians.

“If we don’t do it with other Nigerians, it is not going to work, no matter how popular you are. It’s president of Nigeria, not president of Igboland,” he said.

Kalu said he is an Igbo man to the core and also a Nigerian to the core, but said if anyone from the Southeast would have been nominated for presidency, he would have been the one.

“So, it’s a party business. I have no grudges against anybody who is running. So, it is not personal. It is political and party. This thing is about party winning elections.

“I have chosen to be in APC. Why will I vote against Tinubu? It’s madness, and I’m not going to do it. Elections go along party line, not along tribal line,” he stated.

He asked the Igbo people to wait for another time and see whether Nigerians would agree to zone the presidency to the Igboland.

“But for now, our presidential candidate is Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Tinubu is a strategic leader, he will make his presidency beneficial to the Igbo. The Igbo will be the biggest beneficiaries of Tinubu’s presidency” he said.

This man don open room for bashing,lol

This is the bitter truth they won’t want to swallow

The content is different from your headline but it's fine. We remains OBIdient.

Orji Uzo Kalu is a sane Igbo with rational thought. Please drum it into Obi's ear and tell the Obidients to stop labouring in vain.

Kalu has spoken the truth...100%



It is not yet time for an ibo man to rule this contree

Who still takes this idiot seriously? He said a lot of crap about Tinubu and he still won.

If Peter Obi didn't win, it's very okay. He has sold himself to the Nigerian people. BTW, how many times did Buhari and Atiku contest?

These idiotic politicians need to know that nearly 100 million people will decide who becomes the next president and the result cannot be written from one yeye office like they used to do it in the past.

Peter Obi as Atiku's Vice President in the Picture below describes the situation more than any word can.

In 2019, Peter Obi deputized Atiku Abubakar, who is PDP's presidential candidate today.

He went to the 36 States of the Federation and the FCT telling Nigerians that cared to listen that he was Atiku's follower because Atiku was the most competent to move the country forward.

Why Peter Obi who was Atiku's right hand man in 2019 is contesting against the same Atiku in 2022 is because of internal party politics.

In 2019, the two biggest parties in Africa - APC and PDP agreed that their candidates should come from the Northern Part of the country.

Obi had to support PDPs flag bearer from the North and Tinubu was left with no other option than to support his party's (APC) candidate from the North.

As at January 2022, both Parties (PDP and APC) agreed that their candidates should come from the Southern Part of the country. Atiku was still in Dubai.

It is basic knowledge that the southern part of the country that supports APC is the South West while the South South and South East are PDP.

APC delegates returned:

Bola Tinubu, Rotimi Amaechi, and Yemi Osinbajo (all from the Southern Part of the country) as 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. APC kept their promise .

Towards the end of May, 2022, PDP delegates returned a Northerner, Atiku Abubakar, as their candidate.

Peter Obi left PDP in May 2022, the week the primaries was to be conducted, because PDP did not keep their promise.


PDP treated those from the South East badly because they deserved the ticket. Fvck the "good man" propaganda, as at May 15th 2022, Peter Obi was visiting PDP big wigs across the country to consult for his primaries.

Igbos are a major ethnic group in the country. Igbos deserve to rule Nigeria. The last time South Easterner ruled the country, Peter Obi was just 5. The common consciousness of not getting that topmost seat of power creates a consciousness in an average Easterner.

The problem is that they hate APC instead of PDP and if they were not to vote for Labour Party today, they'd throw their votes for PDP.


APC are honest!

APC gave their first to the North West

Then to the South West.

If APC retains power:

The next will be to the North East

Then to the South East (if they play their cards well).

This one is politically irrelevant some long as south east is concerned,he is banking on imaginary victory of tinubu to bounce back,they believe politics is in Abuja not local.

Their is no much difference between this one and ffk politically,Igbo people are yet to wise up ,if not people like this would have been religated politically.

People, Culture, Religious, Tribes and Politics.
Controversies are inevitable.

No b Lie!

Who takes this bloke serious?
A corrupt looter who sucked Abia State coffers dry.
He doesn't speak for Ndị Igbo.

Orji Uzor Kalu the corrupt one.
The stench of your corrupt still lingers in Abia state up till now even after close to 16 years of leaving office.
You set a high record, so high that the people who succeeded you are still trying to break your record, now you're here trying to talk down a man who God has anointed to change the narrative in Nigerian politics. Even Peter Obi is from the west I will still vote for him.
APC has produced the weakest results in governance.
Peter Obi is all we know and by the special grace of God we are matching to Aso rock.

Vote Peter Obi for President.

But Obi Pandora corruption loot does not linger in your bigoted damaged head anymore

Pain
I won't trade words with you. I'm bigger than that. God bless you.

Then Atiku should win it, not your senile old Tinubu

Ok..... ringing apart tunubu won't even come third

The speed at which the biased mods are pushing Orji Kalu's nonsense to the frontpage ehhnn...

When a career politician who knows nothing about governance speaks, you will know


Orji is one of the unfortunate beings that by chance found himself in government but goofed it all...


2023 will set a better course for governance in Nigeria with ObiDatti.

Of course. Who takes foolish lying Obituary serious? Only useless Zombies

.

We know you're not happy because you're not the one the youths are rallying round about, we know you don't want an Igbo presidency so you can still have a chance in some years to come to go for it. Unfortunately for you, the youths don't care about your opinion.

Obi is coming

Finishing

Orji kalu will not see 2023 quote me on this..our ancestor has taken his life because of this statement.

.

All these party politics will lead us to more calamity. Kalu & his likes are Political Bandits who are after their own selfish interests & are not fighting for generality of Nigerians. They are all threatened by Obi's emergence.

APC as a party has nothing to offer except more hardship & suffering.
Tinubu as an individual is sick & old & far past his prime.
Let's Vote wisely.

Kanu didn't say this

They've twisted what Kalu actually said

Bitterness. He is bitter it isn't him that's on the frontline unlike Obi. Imagine the sick mentality, if any igbo man should be president, it should be him. Says the fake dibia that he wastes his money on. What a distasteful human being with zero sense of shame

Idiot

Obi is Not Igbo President

Obi is Nigeria President.


Obi's Presidency will benefit all Nigerians



APC and PDP lack Campaign Statements, it's always about Tribe , Ethnicity and Religion


It's OBI we want

Instead of him to support his brother, he's there talking nonsense.
