<h4>2023 Presidency : Senator Orji Kalu Dumps Igbo Presidency, Supports North</h4>
<p>Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North and Chief Whip of the 9th Senate has dumped the clamour for 2023 Igbo Presidency.In a statement he personally signed on Monday, he advanced reasons for his actions as reproduced below</p>
<p>&#8221; I congratulate my friend, former roommate and boss , Senator Ahmad Lawan as he picks form to run for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under our great party , All Progressives Congress (APC) . I am most glad because he is from the North East , the only zone alongside South East that is yet to produce President of Nigeria.</p>
<p>I have always maintained an unambiguous stand that for justice , equity and fairness in our country, the next president of Nigeria after President Muhammadu Buhari should come from the South East or the North East .</p>
<p>I have also told Nigerians that I would only run for president if the two major political parties (APC and PDP) zone their tickets to the South East . That is why I was disappointed with our southern brothers who are talking about fairness and equity but has zero tolerance for the same fairness and equity in the South .</p>
<p>In the absence of a South Easterner being president of Nigeria in 2023 , I have my full support for a North Easterner . This is because it would be the closest to the equity , fairness and Justice everyone is talking about . It further means that the justice is on its way to the South East .</p>
<p>I thank those who said they have picked presidential form for me because they meant well for Nigerians .</p>
<p>However, since there is no zoning and the contest is open to all Nigerians , I officially withdraw from presidential contest in 2023. I have also picked ticket to run for Abia North Senatorial zone and to complete the good work I started in Abia North .&#8221;</p>
<p>I urge all my friends , allies and supporters in the APC to toe the line of justice by supporting Senator Ahmad Lawan , a North Easterner for the presidential ticket of the APC</p>
