Senator Orji Uzor Kalu Backs Out Of Presidential Race

Former Abia State governor Orji Uzor Kalu has shelved his presidential ambition, noting that he would focus his attention on returning to the Senate.
The senator had earlier indicated interest to run for the presidency on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with a proviso that the ruling party zones it to the South East.
Kalu acknowledged in a statement on Tuesday that the situation in Nigeria is that without the support of other regions, it would amount to a shadow chasing for a South Easterner to be President.
“This is the reason I have been in the frontline of the call that the two major political parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should zone their presidential tickets to the South East as they did for the South West in 1999.
“In the absence of this zoning, I shall return to the Senate and stay away from the presidential contest. The reality is that the North is more advantageous to win elections in this democratic setting.”
