Chief Whip of the House of Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu
has announced decision to withdraw from the 2023 presidential race.
The Lawmaker who was an aspirant on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress, APC stated this in a statement he personally signed on
Monday.
He explained that his decision followed inability of the two
major political parties to zone their ticket to the South East for justice and
fairness.
The former governor of Abia State said he has picked ticket
to run for Abia North Senatorial zone in the forthcoming 2023 general
elections.
Kalu called on his supporters across the nation to the
Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan who joined the presidential race on
Monday.
The statement reads partly, “Since there is no zoning and
the contest is open to all Nigerians , I officially withdraw from presidential
contest in 2023. I have also picked ticket to run for Abia North Senatorial
zone and to complete the good work I started in Abia North .
“I urge all my friends , allies and supporters in the APC to
toe the line of justice by supporting Senator Ahmad Lawan , a North Easterner
for the presidential ticket of the APC”.
