Former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has declared his readiness to work tirelessly for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, pledging to campaign “day and night” across his senatorial district and the entire Southeast.
Kalu expressed strong confidence that Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) would secure victory in the Southeast in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday night, the Senate Chief Whip dismissed suggestions that he was merely trying to flatter or mislead the president about his chances in the region.
He said: “My confidence shows you because in Abia, for the first time, President Tinubu is going to win the state in 2027.
“What gives me the confidence is my interaction with the people. What we had in 2023 was immaterial. I’m looking at the future.
“In 2023, I didn’t put in all my best, but in 2027, I will live there for 5 months, campaigning day and night, it will deliver Abia for Tinubu and APC.
“I don’t need anything from the president to deceive him.”
