The Chief Whip of the 9th senate, Orji Uzor Kalu has said he was still very much in the race for the Presidency in 2023 to clinch the ticket for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Earlier, he had indicated that in the absence of zoning, he will return to the Senate and stay away from the presidential contest.
Kalu said “The reality is that the North is more advantageous to win elections in this democratic setting.”
Speaking in an interview with AIT monitored by our Reporter, Kalu countered media reports that he has shelved his presidential ambition and consequently dropped out of the contest.
He said he will only step down if the rulling All Progressives Congress (APC) failed to zone its Presidential ticket to the Southeast.
Kalu who is also a former Governor of Abia State said he had not reached the decision yet; stressed that he was still in the race to win.
According to the lawmaker , his posts on his various social media handles were completely misrepresented.
