Just four days before the presidential election, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), predicted that his party will sweep 25 states at once.
The Chief Whip of the Senate also asserted that the APC is receiving support from all of the presidential contenders running in Saturday’s general election.
On Tuesday’s episode of Arise Television’s Morning Show, Kalu answered questions by speaking.
Bola Tinubu (APC), Atiku Abubakar (PDP), Peter Obi (LP), and Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (NNPP), among others, will run for president of Nigeria during the election on Saturday.
“My family and Peter Obi attend the same Catholic church, and he is a very close family friend. I don’t want to debate Atiku or anything else [about Peter Obi] because I don’t want to get engaged in the conversation concerning Peter Obi, Kalu remarked.
“Any questions you have for me should be focused on my presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, who will be the new leader of the country and commander in chief.
“Neither a tribe nor a region govern this business. It is about casting a ballot when all Nigerians concur that he will be president, just as they did when they concurred that Bola Tinubu would be.
“Everyone running for office is supporting our party. The votes cast for the PDP will be shared if you [Abia] attend. If you travel to the North, the vote that Kwankwaso is expected to share is a PDP vote.
“Wherever you go. Our main bases are in the North and the Southwest, respectively. At one time or another, we’ll win 20 or 25 states. I don’t worry that President-elect Bola Tinubu won’t be declared on February 25 before midnight.
