Former Abia Governor, Orji Kalu, has responded to calls for
him to declare his 2023 presidential ambition.
The Senate Chief Whip issued a statement via his Facebook
page on Wednesday.
Kalu says he is being urged to publicly announce his
intention and commence consultations.
The lawmaker told Nigerians that he would do so if the All Progressives Congress (APC) zones the party’s ticket to the southeast.
“I have been inundated with pressured requests to also
declare my intention to run for the Presidency of our dear country and visit Mr
President following visits by my other brothers to Mr President yesterday.
“I have taken off time to inform ourselves through the media
that as a party man who believes in the supremacy of our party.
“I shall as soon as the party zones the Presidency and
southern Nigeria is zoned to produce the Presidential candidate of our party.
“My train which is already steaming shall take off with a
visit to Aso Rock Villa and brief Mr President of our collective decision”,
Kalu wrote.
Former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu; and Ebonyi Governor,
Dave Umahi, visited Buhari on Monday and Tuesday respectively to inform him of
their readiness to run.
