2023: My campaign will roll like huricane
Meanwhile, Senator Orji Kalu has stated that he is very well capable to lead Nigeria but is not desperate to attain the presidency.
Kalu made this submission on Wednesday, January 19, after the Senate's first plenary session for the year in Abuja. He disclosed that his recent meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock was mainly on national issues like security and electoral law.
The former Abia governor said he enjoys a robust and age-long relationship with the president even before he got into power, hence the meeting was not linked to the 2023 presidential election or his interest in it.
Kalu noted that if the All Progressives Congress (APC) zones the ticket to the southeast, he will begin massive campaigns which, according to him, will roll out like a hurricane.
