According to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, a federal lawmaker from Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has only one presidential candidate for 2027.

However, Kalu stated that it won’t be in 2027 and that President Bola Tinubu “must complete 8 years” in power before an Igbo man can become president.

On the Monday episode of Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former governor of Abia State made this statement, stating that the Igbo must field a candidate that all Nigerians will accept after Tinubu’s eight years in power.

“I am not going to discuss anything about the Igbo presidency. But I still tell you there is a need for it.

“The Igbo must present an acceptable candidate to all Nigerians. No one zone can make a president. President Tinubu was not elected by the Yoruba. He was elected by all Nigerians,” Kalu said.

He added: “Well, in our party we have only one presidential candidate now. And Tinubu has to do eight years. It’s a must.

“You can see the repairs he has done to the economy and things are starting to pick up again. This president is not even doing politics. He has never told anybody he wants to run for election or not.

“But as a party, we have mandated him to run and given him a vote of confidence. The NEC has given him a vote of confidence, through a motion proposed by the Governor of Imo State and announced by Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, who is the National Chairman of the party.”
