Tinubu has no competitor in 2027 –Kalu

From Okey Sampson, Umuahia

The Senator representing Abia North at the senate, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said President Bola Tinubu has no competitor for the 2027 presidential election.

Senator Kalu stated this at his home town, Igbere, in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, during a meeting with stakeholders of his political groups, OUK Movement and Reality Organisation with All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Abia.

“I can assure you, just like President Tinubu has no competitor in 2027, APC as a party, has no challenge. The opposition in the country is in tatters; they are yet to put their houses in order and do not have the capacity to challenge APC.

“Tinubu is what a good leader should be; he is not afraid of taking decisions. He is taking hard decisions for the interest of the country.

“The president’s economic policies may not have taken Nigeria to where it should be, but we are getting there. It is true we are still battling with the micro economy, but the macro economy is doing well,” Kalu stated.

Kalu said he has been representing his people of Abia North with their mandate and that any day they will say, they don’t want him again, he will return home.

He told the people he has been representing them well at the Senate, stressing that there is no senatorial district that is better than Abia North in terms of attraction of projects.

He added that apart from attracting the rehabilitation of many roads in Abia North, he has also attracted the reconstruction of many schools and given uniforms and textbooks to pupils from his constituency.

Kalu assured of his return to the senate, stressing that there was no way APC would lose as the party is on ground in Abia, even as he expressed optimism that Tinubu would win in the state in 2027.

He cautioned the leadership of the party in the state to manage its affairs with maturity and fairness in order not to create factions within the party.

The senator disclosed that he decided to involve members of APC in the meeting for unity and progress of the party in Abia.

A former governorship aspirant of APC in the state, Chief Mascot Uzor Kalu, urged members of the party to forge ahead to be able to win the next election.

He disclosed that he withdrew from the party’s governorship primaries conducted last month in the interest and unity of the party, and called on all to support the re-election of President Tinubu and vote all APC candidates in the state in 2027.

Other speakers including, Chiefs George Nnanna Kalu, and Uche Ogboso, commended Senator Kalu for his quality representation and promised to work for his re-election.
