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 comment is from a man who represents ibo in politics

This statement reeks of envy. It is only God that gives and takes power. Nigerians are solidly behind Peter Obi and the voice of the masses is the voice of God.

Orji don mad...hear nonsence talk...

It will shock him and his fellow thieves that have kept this country in a bondage.
Nigerian youths over to you.
We must send a very strong message to these people that have weaponize poverty to keep us in servitude.

What do you mean he represent Igbo in politics? Does he feeds all the poor Igbos in our society? How many Igbos does he pay their school fees? The Igbos in various hospitals where you reside does he pay their hospital bills? Use your brain when you comment on a public forum my dear. He is speaking for his own pocket and nothing else.

Orji kalu is a born idiot, a ret@rded ass licking cunt..

this man represents a state in the South East that can't pay workers salaries to date both polytechnic and university in his Abia state.

Everybody has to say what they ought to say

But unfortunate for Tinubu, Orji Uzor Kalu can't influence a human being in his own ward talkless of the street which he lives in

Orji is sleeping on a moving bike

If it is so..l would advise all the ibos to stick to biafra

This is the oxford definition of eFoolefu.

He is speaking for himself only.

Who gave Orji kalu microphone to talk. Don't worry. You will see him and obi tomorrow. Is it not Orji again?. Orji that was not allowed into PDP then he wanted to come back is the person making noise now. How this man managed to bounce back to politics isn't a surprise. It was caused by Mao Ohuabunwa's poor representation in the Senate

Stone cold jealousy, that’s the number one reason they are not supporting Peter Obi.
The second reason is Peter Obi did not share Anambra money to them while he was governor.

Those who should support him are those who are supporting Tinubu but online supporter are there for him sha…….

That was how he was ranting during Anambra election, Orji will lose his polling unit to Peter Obi

Abeg go collect back sit.

IPOB terrorists and rogue LP supporters will soon claimed billionaire ORJI KALU collected money for saying the reality
