My Presidential Campaign Will Rock Like Hurricane, Says Orji Kalu

Chief whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has said when rolled out, his presidential campaign will rock like a hurricane.

According to the former Abia governor, he has the capacity and capability to lead the country as President, noting that only the South East and North East are yet to produce the country’s president since Independence.

The Abia North Senator spoke on Wednesday in a chat with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, January 19.

The lawmaker made it clear that he is in no way desperate to become the president in 2023 even though he has the prerequisite qualification to lead.

“I have said before that there are only two zones that have not been president: the Southeast and the Northeast. Once it’s zoned to the Southeast, I have the capacity and the capability will roll out my campaign and rock like a hurricane.

“It’s overdue for an Igbo man to become a Nigerian president; I believe the Southeast should produce the next President and it’s going to happen.”

He disclosed that his recent meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock was mainly on national issues like security and electoral law.

The former Abia governor said he enjoyed a robust and age-long relationship with the president even before he got into power, hence the meeting was not linked to the 2023 presidential election or his interest in it.
