Senator representing Abia North district, Orji Uzor Kalu, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 election.
Kalu spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
The former Abis State governor stated that former president Goodluck Jonathan, vice president, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, cannot stand in Tinubu’s way in the next general elections.
“None of these people parading can defeat President Tinubu,” Kalu said.
“We know ourselves. All of us know ourselves. What are they going to offer Nigerians that we are not offering?”
When asked if Jonathan, Atiku and Obi are among the politicians he referred to, he said “Whatever you call them, none of them can defeat Tinubu.”
According to the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, the President has done well to turn around the nation’s economy.
The federal lawmaker also warned Jonathan against contesting, saying he is constitutionally banned from doing so.
“If I’m President Jonathan, I will not think of running for election because first of all, he is constitutionally banned by law — nobody can do more than eight years. If I’m Goodluck Jonathan, I will just be the statesman that I am.” Kalu said.
