Ahead of February 26, 2022, the national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a presidential aspirant under the party’s platform, Orji Uzor Kalu, has restated his determination to contest the presidency in the 2023 elections.

Speaking during a solidarity visit to a national chairmanship hopeful of the party, Senator Mohammed Sani Musa in Abuja, he expressed the hope that the presidential ticket would be zoned to the South-East geopolitical zone.

Kalu, who is the Senate Chief Whip, described Musa as a proactive lawmaker keen on ensuring that the APC emerges victorious in the 2023 general elections.

They deliberated on how to ensure a smooth national convention of the party and pledged to work together for APC’s success at all levels in future elections.

Kalu said he visited the Maitama residence of the Senate Service Committee Chairman to solidarise with him and welcome him from a medical trip abroad.

Musa commended Kalu for the visit, adding that his (Kalu’s) sense of humility and leadership remains a source of pride to the APC.
