2027: Tinubu Set For Easy Victory As Opposition Crumbles – Orji Uzor Kalu

The Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu has said that President Bola Tinubu has no serious challenger ahead of the 2027 presidential election, saying opposition parties lack the capacity to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress.

It was gathered that Kalu addressed his constituents in his hometown, Igbere, in the Bende Local Government Area of Abia State during a meeting with stakeholders of his political groups, the OUK Movement and Reality Organisation, and members of the APC in the state.

The former Abia State governor said the opposition parties are still divided, not able to solve their internal crises before the general election.

“I can tell you that just as President Tinubu has no competitor in 2027, APC as a party has no challenge. “The opposition in the country is in shambles, they are yet to put their houses in order, they do not have the capacity to challenge APC,” Kalu said.

The lawmaker also backed the economic policies of the Tinubu administration, describing the President as a resolute leader willing to take tough decisions in the interest of the country.

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

Kalu admitted that while the administration’s economic policies had not yet yielded all the desired results, progress was being made.

“We may not have gotten where we ought to be with the President’s economic policies, but we are getting there. “We are still battling with the micro economy, but the macro economy is doing well,” he added.

Kalu said he was answerable to his constituents in the Senate for Abia North and would vacate office when they withdrew their mandate.

He said no senatorial district in the country had done better than Abia North in attracting Federal Government projects.

He said his representation had also assisted in the rehabilitation of several roads, reconstruction of schools and distribution of uniforms and text books to pupils in the constituency.

Kalu expressed confidence of returning to the Senate, insisting that the APC was firmly rooted in Abia State.

He predicted that Tinubu will win the state in 2027 presidential election.

But the former governor advised the APC leadership in Abia to run the party’s affairs with maturity, justice and fairness so that factions would not emerge.

He said APC members were invited to the stakeholders’ meeting as part of the efforts to promote unity and strengthen the party ahead of the elections.

A former aspirant for governorship in the state on the platform of the APC, Mascot Uzor Kalu, called on party faithful to come together and work for victory in 2027.

Mascot said he withdrew from the party’s governorship primary conducted last month in the interest of unity and peace in the APC.

He charged party members to support Tinubu’s re-election and vote for all APC candidates in Abia State in the 2027 general elections.

Other speakers at the meeting including George Nnanna Kalu and Uche Ogboso commended Senator Kalu for what they described as quality representation and promised to support his re-election.
