SENATE Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has declared himself as the All Progressives Congress’ top presidential aspirant from the South-East.
The former Governor of Abia state said that if the presidency is zoned to the South East, he is the candidate to beat.
“I’m not desperate, but I’m anxious to change the way of living and economy of Nigeria, which is what I know how to do best. I can change the economy in four years. I can bring back the GDP to be competing with the U.S. and Japan and all the rest of them. I can bring back the capacity utilisation under 4,5 per cent to be rocking like a Hurricane,” he said.
“As far as he is concerned, anybody can declare for president, but will everybody get the presidency? The answer is no! So, we will work on that as a party and I will come back to consult our party members”.
On what efforts he is making to ensure APC zones the president to South East, the former governor said he is doing nothing, as it is the decision of the party; which he said is “supreme”.
“If they zone it to South East, I’m number one candidate. The only two zones that have never been president in Nigeria are the Northeast and Southeast. So, if they bring it to my zone, I have everything it takes to deliver victory to APC, not by talking, but by action and rework the economy that every Nigerian, no matter where you live or stay will be happy in your pocket, in your house, in your electricity, in your water and everything and bring back the pride of Nigerians to carry Nigerian passport. This I can do.
“Many people come in just because they want to answer the name president. They are anxious to become president, are they ready to work? A president should be someone who is able to work for Nigerian people.
“There are two things the president should look at – the economy and security; these are the focus point, to bring our economy back on track”.
