2023: ‘ Tinubu not a threat’ – Orji Kalu speaks on presidential ambition

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, a presidential aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Friday maintained that former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, will not be an impediment to his presidential aspiration.

Kalu who was Governor of Abia State between 1999 -2007 states this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today monitored by Mega Icon Magazine where he spoke about his plans for the country if elected to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.

When asked if he sees the All Progressives Congress  (APC) National Leader as a threat, the lawmaker answered, “No! and I am not a threat to his ambition. By the time we meet in Eagles Square, this issue will be settled.

“Mind you, politics is not only about money; it is about the people you are going to govern …  the people of the north-west, the people of north-east, the people of north-central, the people of the south-east, the people of the south-west, and the people of south-south, and we have the people. I can move the people and the people are with me.”
