Senator Orji Uzo Kalu, who served some months in jail for fraud related offences, is not in any position to speak for the people of the south-east as to when it is right for them to have the presidency of Nigeria. Senator Orji Uzo Kalu, in our opinion, is a shallow-minded person, hence his unguided statement. The Viewers Corner News team believes that Senator Orji Uzo Kalu’s failure during his political party’s presidential primary may have contributed to why he believed that the South-east could not get the presidency in 2023. Again, saying that the south east has no chance in the 2023 presidential race shows how backward Senator Orji Uzo Kalu is. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians. Therefore, every Nigerian has the right to contest to become the president of the country. This has nothing to do with ethnicity or religion, but with the capacity of the candidate in question. So Senator Orji Uzo Kalu should keep his failed projection in his pocket and allow those with clean minds to participate in the presidential race of Nigeria. Even when Senator Orji Uzo Kalu was the governor of Abia state, he could not do much. Despite all the huge monthly allocations he received from the federal government of Nigeria, the salaries of workers and pensioners’ allowances were not properly paid. Corruption was huge under his leadership as the governor of Abia state.
