On the presidential ambition of the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Sen. Kalu said while he had nothing against the aspiration of Tinubu, but he believed that the South East was ripe for the Presidency.
His words, “I don’t see Tinubu’s ambition having any effect on the president of Nigeria coming from Igbos.
“We are talking based on how Nigeria should be, we are talking which people should believe in.
“No Igbo man since independence has been democratically elected as president,” he said.
