Orji Kalu Rejects Peter Obi's Support in 2027 Presidential Race
Senator Orji Kalu has ruled out supporting the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Peter Obi, or any other Igbo politician outside the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
The former Abia State governor made this declaration during an interview on Arise Television's Prime Time programme, emphasizing his loyalty to the APC.
"I was in PDP, I was in PPA, and my third political party is APC. I am a member of APC, pure and direct," Kalu stated.
"Yeah, leave me there. I don't have any interest. If Igbos have interest, [and] they don't want to pursue [it] in APC; that is their business. There is no other place the interest will be pursued except where I am," he added.
The APC remains the platform through which Kalu believes the political interests of the South-East region can be effectively pursued.
Speaking on the matter, Kalu stated, "I am a member of APC, pure and direct."
The senator further explained that it is not about the political ideology but the platform that matters most.
"There is no other place the interest will be pursued except where I am," he emphasized.
Orji Kalu's stance on the matter is in line with his previous support for APC and his belief in the platform's ability to represent the interests of the South-East region.
