Orji Uzor Kalu, senator representing Abia north, attended
Tuesday’s plenary at the senate wearing an outfit bearing the inscription
‘Tinubu for President 2027’.
Speaking with journalists at the national assembly, Kalu
described his attire as an “open endorsement” of President Bola Tinubu’s
re-election.
“Can you see what I’m wearing? If you look at the dress I’m
wearing, you will know what it is,” he said.
“This is the endorsement for president. My dress is
perfectly tailored to that and the southeast caucus is fully in support.”
The senator said the campaign outfit is already being adopted
by others.
“People are already wearing it; I’m not just the first
person wearing it,” he said.
“Because you people have a gold eye, that you can see what
I’m wearing. I’m wearing something for the president, our president, your
president.”
Kalu noted that the south-east caucus of the APC had
endorsed Tinubu’s re-election long before other groups did.
“We endorsed him weeks ago, chaired by Governor Hope
Uzodinma and co-chaired by the governor of Ebonyi and the deputy speaker. We
initiated the national endorsement,” he added.
Kalu praised Tinubu’s economic policies, including subsidy
removal and exchange rate unification.
The former Abia state governor did not confirm whether the
attire was part of an official campaign rollout for the president ahead of the
2027 elections.
