2023 Presidency: Orji Uzor Kalu Withdraws From Race, Backs Lawan by Kwanza(op): 7:49pm On May 09, 2022
2023 Presidency : Zoning And Support For Ahmad Lawan

I congratulate my friend, former roommate and boss , Senator Ahmad Lawan as he picks form to run for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under our great party , All Progressives Congress (APC) . I am most glad because he is from the North East , the only zone alongside South East that is yet to produce President of Nigeria.

I have always maintained an unambiguous stand that for justice , equity and fairness in our country, the next president of Nigeria after President Muhammadu Buhari should come from the South East or the North East .

I have also told Nigerians that I would only run for president if the two major political parties (APC and PDP) zone their tickets to the South East . That is why I was disappointed with our southern brothers who are talking about fairness and equity but has zero tolerance for the same fairness and equity in the South .

In the absence of a South Easterner being president of Nigeria in 2023 , I have my full support for a North Easterner . This is because it would be the closest to the equity , fairness and Justice everyone is talking about . It further means that the justice is on its way to the South East .

I thank those who said they have picked presidential form for me because they meant well for Nigerians .

However, since there is no zoning and the contest is open to all Nigerians , I officially withdraw from presidential contest in 2023. I have also picked ticket to run for Abia North Senatorial zone and to complete the good work I started in Abia North .

I urge all my friends , allies and supporters in the APC to toe the line of justice by supporting Senator Ahmad Lawan , a North Easterner for the presidential ticket of the APC

Signed

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu
Chief Whip of the 9th Senate
Federal Republic of Nigeria

He wasn't running in the first place. He jus appeared on the tracks to make it seem like he was an athlete. The whole removal of Saraki wasn't jus to give the govt a smooth ride, it was also to clip Saraki's wings becks he would have garnered enough power for a Presidential bid

Kalu knows that no south eastern candidate can win Apc primaries.. he had no option than to support someone that will gave him position when he wins.. lawan may likely pick someone from the south East or south south if he wins Apc primaries as running mate

Coward.

Igbos are not cowards. This useless Orji Uzor Kalu is a bastard. I have never meet a single coward Igbo. Orji Uzor Kalu is a useless bastard.

The Presidency will never be zoned to any village. It will never happen. Obasanjo contested against Alex Ekwueme, Emeka Ojukwu and some other clowns and defeated them all. The Presidency was not zoned to Obasanjo's village.

2023 is the turn of the Igbos, but Igbos must bring out their best brains and mobilize for them and prepare their candidate to face candidates from other region. Power is fought for and won, power is never given as a gift.

Presidency will never go to the North in 2023. The worst of us will never continue ruling the best.

Orji Uzor Kalu should go and ask his mother whom his biological father is. This idiot is not an Igbo because there is no single Igbos coward on earth.

I can’t believe Kalu just said this.
Re: 2023 Presidency: Orji Uzor Kalu Withdraws From Race, Backs Lawan by Terrence99:
The highest position Igbos are fighting and aspiring for in 2023 is what Tinubu singlehandedly nominated someone for in 2014.

Chai.

Igbos need Tinubu desperately.

Way to go Okeosisi Igbere; we are the real master strategists. And yes, we bought the form for the SP.
After buying form, you will be there to carry banners in Eagles Square. After all, that is the only thing you people are good for.

Political houseboyism.

One thing Igbo politicians are talented in is political servitude.
Good luck to Lawan, more slaves to your campaign.
