Kalu Reacts To Posters Of 2019 Presidency by mickybeejay(m): 3:04pm On Nov 01, 2017 |
Orji Kalu, former Abia State governor on
Wednesday distanced himself from
campaign posters claiming that he will
run for President in 2019.
The All Progressives Congress, APC,
chieftain maintained that the posters
cited along airport road, Abuja, with the
inscription: “Vote Orji Kalu for President
on the platform of the APC” were the
handiwork of political jobbers and
speculators.
Kalu reaffirmed his support for President
Muhammadu Buhari should he decide to
contest in 2019.
In a statement signed and issued in
Abuja by his Special Adviser, Kunle
Oyewumi, the former governor insisted
that the North should be allowed to
complete their eight years before Igbo
take their rightful turn in 2023.
He said,”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.” |
