Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abia State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has expressed optimism that President Muhammadu Buhari would run in 2019 despite concerns in some quarters over his health.

Kalu insisted on Monday that the president would present himself for re-election if his health permitted him.

Kalu also craved support for Igbo presidency in 2023, saying the emergence of an Igbo president would bring prosperity and unity to the country.

Kalu commended President Buhari for appointing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to head the reconciliation committee to address all the lingering issues among party members.

He spoke at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Two (MMA2), Lagos, during an interview with airport correspondents.

According to Kalu, Buhari was prepared to run for a second term in office.

He stressed that the president had performed well in almost three years in office and deserved a second term.

He pointed to the ongoing construction of a second Niger Bridge by the present administration as a proof of the president’s performance in the South-East, and noted sadly that the Igbo had been cheated in several ways by Nigerian governments since 1960.

He also called for national cohesion by all stakeholders, rather than tribal and religion cohesions.

He stated that once every Nigerian perceived himself as a nationalist, many of the crises in the country would be resolved.

“All I know is that Buhari is prepared to run unless he is not feeling well, but Buhari will run.

“He is an honest man. I am sure you know Buhari very well. He is not a man that pretends; he is not a man that shows the other side of his behaviour.”

Nigeria Presidency is a Curse

like I'm just waiting till when the Igbos will rule this Nation!
...I'm tired of much noise on social media!

I dey laugh ooo. In that 2023 igbo could only become president if Yoruba support them but if Yoruba nominated a candidate believe me Hausa would prefer Yoruba to Igbo and from there their eye will now clear. I just only pity Kalu because this business that is putting the money to is inprofitable investment. Sorry just talk my own.

Orji Uzor, how is that your corruption case and other massive looting of the resources of Abia state going?

Oh, I hear that pressing the 'mumu button' of some people in power wipes away 'sins'.

The east would have had a chance but the whole "pigs and idiots" brouhaha damaged whatever was left of the east political clout, coupled with the fact the Tinibu showed Nigerians that you only need four regions to become president.

Do the east really need this presidency...

Nope!

But failed politicians always want to shove it down dia throat..

It doesn't work that way..

What has the presidency done for ijaw man ..or Yoruba man..abi hausa almajiris..

Nothing..

Yet you will see Yorubas masturbating of this presidency thing like say ikiri and ekiti don turn New Jersey.

Even the hausa/Fulani don't brag about this presidency thing the way Yoruba take carry am for head.

Think is all dick measuring with Igbos...
Who don't really really care about it... But would die for Biafra..

How many igbos don die for Nigeria...

But ipob call for protests..you see them ready and willing to give dia live even in the face of death..

Can any tribe in Nigeria .. give dia lives in the face of death..for Nigeria to exist..

Nope...

So what the Bleep about this Igbo president et Al..
