Senate Chief Whip, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu on Monday declared that he won't hesitate to serve the country as president in 2023 if given the opportunity by the people(electorates).

“I am still in the Senate, and I will seek for re-election into the Senate (in 2023), but if our people want me to serve as President I will not hesitate,” he said.

Kalu made the declaration during a private visit to two former leaders of Nigeria, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd.) and Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd.), in Minna, the Niger state capital.

Kalu, a former Governor of Abia State, also said that zoning is not a Constitutional matter but party affairs, adding that his party, the APC could not have zoned the presidency.

“Zoning is a party issue, every party has the right to say where they want a position to come from but in APC, there is no issue of zoning. Anybody can contest for the presidency,” he told reporters.

Senator Orji Kalu was released from the Kuje Correctional Centre in June after spending five months in prison following his 'wrongful' incarceration.

Kalu was the governor of Abia Statefrom May 1999 to May 2007 before his election as Senator representing Abia North senatorial district in 2019.

Igbere TV had reported how Senator Orji Kalu arrived Minna, the 'power' state on Monday at exactly 2pm alongside political friends, associates and retinue of aides.

The former governor met privately with with former Nigerian leaders, General Abdusalami Abubakar (rtd.) and General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd.) almost immediately.

He also met privately with the Emir of Minna, Dr Umar Faruq at his Minna palace, the Niger State capital and expected to meet Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State.

Speaking on the reason for his visit to the Emir of Minna, Senator Kalu who described the visitation as “private”, said he was at the palace to see his “brother”, Emir Faruq.

For that of Babaginda, the senator said he went to congratulate his “boss” on his health, and also to felicitate with Abdulsalami who recently celebrated his birthday.

Osinbajo I know, Osinbajo I'll vote for and NO ONE ELSE.

Without him on the ballot, I'd simply sit in my room and watch the events play themselves out.

OdumegwuOjukwu:



After Tinubu and host of others have met similar fate.


Compared to Tinubu, Kalu is a saint!

Cyberterror:
Your vote won't matter anyway. The people who vote in this country are northerners and once Buhari lifts OUK's hands, it is finished. Osinbajo lost his own polling unit by the way.

flyingpig:
I swear. These Yoruba people will elevate and shield their own criminals only to choke mouth in the affairs of others when they sense the candidate is about to steal the shine off their drug baron cum criminal of Tinubu.

OdumegwuOjukwu:
Well, I prefer Peter Obi or Dave Umahi those are proven administrators.

donbachi:

Please Orji Uzo Kalu should go and sit down, Now that we the Igbos stand I chance at the sit of power he is springing his head. We don't need him Biko. We have the likes of Peter Obi, Okonji Iweala, Kingsley Muoghalu, Charles Soludo. Before this man tarnishes our image kpata kpata. If the APC field him, certainly they will lose cause PDP will field Peter Obi and that is game over for APC.

flyingpig:
Tinubu the bullion van rider should be tied to a horse and dragged on the floor of the 36 states for stealing away the destiny of SW and Yoruba land. As well as for the murder of Engr. Funso Williams.

You mean the North won't vote during APC presidential primaries because it was zoned to the South?

He is just trying to checkmate Southwest with his Northern connections
