2027: Why Peter Obi Can’t Get My Support — Orji Kalu

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has dismissed expectations that he would support Peter Obi or any other politician outside the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 general election, reaffirming his unwavering loyalty to his party.

Kalu made this clear during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Monday, where he stated that he has no justification to back candidates running on alternative political platforms.

“I’m not in the political party where they are contesting. Why should they call my name? I mean, they shouldn’t. Why should they call? No, they are just being idiotic,” Kalu stated.

Recalling his political history, the former Abia State governor noted that he previously belonged to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) before joining the APC, which he considers his final political home.

“I was in PDP, I was in PPA, and my third political party is APC. So if I’m in this practice and you want me to go and support somebody in APGA, you must be sick in your mind. You must be dreaming,” he added.

The lawmaker maintained that the APC remains the most viable vehicle for advancing the political and regional interests of the South-East zone, dismissing alternative platforms chosen by other political actors.
