Senator Orji Kalu has firmly stated that he will not support Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), or any other Igbo candidate in the 2027 general election. The former Abia State governor, who is a committed member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasized his loyalty to the party during an interview on Arise Television's Prime Time programme.
Kalu dismissed calls to back Obi or other political candidates outside the APC, describing such expectations as unreasonable. He explained that since he is not part of the NDC or any other political party, his support should not be solicited. Kalu stressed that his political allegiance lies with the APC, which he believes is the best platform for pursuing the political interests of the South-East.
He concluded by saying that if the Igbo people wish to pursue their interests outside the APC, that is their decision, but there is no other platform where their interests will be effectively advanced.
