Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said he will no longer vie for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made the announcement on Tuesday in a post on his verified Instagram page, where he gave reasons for his decision.
Kalu, who was a two-term governor of Abia State, explained that there was no point in joining the contest without the full support of other regions.
It is my desire and intention to run for the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am committed to this pursuit, but I can’t make an official declaration to this regard without the full support of other regions.
In the absence of this zoning, I shall return to the Senate and stay away from the presidential contest. The reality is that the North is more advantageous to winning elections in this democratic setting. I am even shocked with the number of aspirants coming from the South West and the South South.
