Orji Kalu Denies Presidential Ambition

Ex-Governor Orji Kalu of Abia State has denied planning to contest for the presidency in 2019: “After a two-week business trip to China, to my surprise, on my way from Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja,  this  morning, I sighted the malicious posters in my name with the caption: ‘Kalu for President.”

“It is definitely the handiwork of some politicians who are either afraid of my political capacity or enemies of the present administration as I have continually maintained my support for Mr President.”

“The action of these jobless politicians is a ploy to damage the robust relationship I have with President Buhari and the top hierarchy of the APC.‎ Such political blackmail is not only disheartening but unhealthy for Nigeria’s growing democracy.”

“While I call on the unsuspecting public, especially members of the APC, to disregard the vicious posters, I am also reaffirming my unflinching and unaltered support for Mr President. I will contest in 2019 by the grace of God but definitely not for President.”
