2023 Presidency: Why I'm Now Supporting A Northerner - Uzor Kalu | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Former Abia state governor, Orji Kalu has explained why he withdrew from the 2023 presidential race and declared his support for Ahmed Lawan, a northerner.

Kalu said “If aspirants from the South-West and South-South cannot support their brothers from the South-East, It is only politically correct to support the North-East geo-political zone”, stressing that this is the shortest route for southeast to the presidency.

The senate Chief-whip stated this while accusing elder statesman, Edwin Clark of betraying the South-East and its quest for the 2023 presidency, saying that the Niger Delta leader’s “late hour” support for the South-East is suspicious.

In a statement, Kalu wondered why Clark and others couldn’t do it two years ago.

He said the Ijaw elder statesman knows the South-East cannot get the ticket of any party in an open contest without a gentleman agreement.

The lawmaker said: “If aspirants from the South-West and South-South cannot support their brothers from the South-East, It is only politically correct to support the North-East geo-political zone”

He expressed shock that Clark didn’t call the majority of Southerners, “including governors working against the South-East to order or the names he called me”.

“What did you say or do when all the aspirants from South-South and South-West were buying forms to run against South Easterners who have always supported them?

“If you meant well for the South East, you could have discouraged other aspirants against running for President.

“Nothing stops the South supporting only presidential aspirants from the South East. The betrayers are those who don’t care about South. We are wiser.”

He further told Clark that majority of the Southerners “in his party (PDP) are secretly supporting a Northeasterner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari”.
