Orji Uzor Kalu, senator representing Abia north, says the consensus of the southeast geopolitical zone ahead of 2027 is to President Bola Tinubu’s second-term ambition.

Kalu, a former governor of Abia, spoke in Abuja at the end of the Abia APC stakeholders’ meeting held at his residence over the weekend.

He said of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia have resolved to put aside their differences and work together to deliver Tinubu and take over the state government currently led by Alex Otti of the Labour Party (LP).

Speaking to journalists, Kalu said the president had directed party leaders to reconcile and strengthen the APC in their various states.

His words: “We are more united now than ever because President Tinubu during the last APC NEC meeting gave us directive to go and reconcile of the party in our states.

“He knows that we are capable of doing it and we will be very grateful to the people of our constituencies and the masses to us in uniting the party.

“They stand to benefit more by enjoying the federal might. They can see what is happening in Abia north senatorial district concerning federal government’s interventions and I am very thankful to former President Buhari and the incumbent President Tinubu.

“This is what the three senatorial districts will enjoy when they the APC.

He said Tinubu had expressed concern about the political situation in Abia and urged leaders to reunite the party.

He said: “The last time I went to see President Tinubu, he was not very happy about the situation in Abia and I gave him my words that we are going to work hard to bring back Abia as a united indivisible entity.

“The president knows that we the leaders of Abia are capable of doing that. We are going to do that and we are calling and promising all the leaders that nobody will be left behind.

“We are in government and everybody must roll with us because anybody who does might regret his action.

He said: “My goodwill message to the people of Abia is that we have a president that has done first term and will be going for second term.

“If he is doing second term, Abia needs to also align to the centre because we cannot afford to be speaking differently.”

“The consensus of the south-east over 2027 is that the zone will do very well in ing President Tinubu and I challenge them to mark my words.

“I have been working and I am on ground. when Mr President visited Enugu, I was not there physically but I have his permission to visit all the governors in the south-east and beyond and I am doing that.

“We are working and not resting. The president knows that there are few planners behind him and when we plan we execute the plan.

“The class of 1999 governors are made up of very tough people and a very good class.”

Sometimes, E dey good make we dey tell ourselves the truth and not appear as fools before our listeners...

Even Tinubu himself knows that the so called senator is lying....Yeah the only truth might be that those in of him are those amongst the elites and party s.....In general within the eastern region, APC holds no ground except say na wetin dem steal give person.......

Anyways, Tinubu should continue instead of a northerner come 2027!!...Those people should stop giving dictates like say na only them own Nigeria....

419, kali you do not have the mandate to speak for the easterners
You want to dupe Tinubu
What has he done to deserve any , you and your household are free to Tinubu because you benefited personally don't involve those who are bearing the pains of his misrule

How many people make up that "South-East"?

How can party say they have resolved to the party, Looks like they've been doing anti-party activities

The story dey one kind!

Tinubu doesn't need 5% votes, thet should give it to the Agulu fraudster

Which south east

Kalu knows he is only in this.

Which southeast?

This bastard orji uzor Kalu de cap so many nonsense ..... I never liked that fool for once ....... Who told him we igbos are ing Tinibu 2027

Which Southeast is Uzor Kalu talking about, nitori olohun? The same southeast they paid Reno Omokri heavily to insult, denigrate, and disregard? Okay, I understand the gimmick, cos even Tinubu himself will not buy the lies.

Yeye man

Seems what OUK said might be true as I see most of my Igbo friend align with the policies particularly the tax reform bills and others.

Cubana Chief Priest and some other Igbo elites are of this opinion as many good citizens of the South East also.

I just wish the government will tackle insecurities headlong as well as the current economic realities

Orji Kalu said the whole 5 of Abia State APC party will Tinubu but the O.P came with propaganda to say that South East will Tinubu..... 😂 😂 😂...

Is a good move, with 5 of APC ing Tinubu from South East Abia State, he is sure to win ....

Thief. Fighting for his pockets and bigger opportunity
