Kalu, who described himself as "a political scientist", said he had carefully assessed the political landscape and found no candidate capable of defeating Tinubu.

"I have checked it inside my room, I have checked it inside my sitting room, I've checked it inside the library. I've not seen any challenge," he said.

He added that only a candidate with nationwide appeal could mount a serious presidential challenge.

"Maybe if Oji Joseph Kalu was running in ADC, I could have been a challenge to President Tinubu, but today there is no challenge."

The senator urged APC members to avoid internal divisions ahead of the next general election, warning that factional disputes could weaken the party.

"If we are not managed well, that does not mean we cannot speak out. If we create a faction, it will be more costly to manage. So, you better be one party," he said.
