By Ugochukwu Alaribe

UMUAHIA — Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Orji Uzor Kalu, has urged people of the South-East not to rely solely on the region’s votes to determine the outcome of the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking at his country home, Camp Neya in Igbere, Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, during a meeting with members of the Reality Organization, OUK Movement and the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kalu called on the South-East to work with other regions of the country in the electoral process.

He argued that no geopolitical zone can produce a president without support from other parts of Nigeria, noting that broad national backing is required to win a presidential election.

Kalu urged the people of the South-East to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, expressing confidence that the President would secure another term in office.
