The lawmaker representing Abia North in the Red Chamber, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has stated that he is ready to lay down his life to ensure victory for the All Progressives Congress and President Bola Tinubu in his state in the 2027 general elections.
Kalu said he and other APC members in the state will work hard to defeat other political parties in the state to deliver it to Tinubu.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Senator’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Sunny Idika, on Wednesday morning.
According to the statement, the former Abia governor made the declaration while addressing journalists at his country home in Igbere, Abia State on Tuesday.
The statement stressed that Kalu also said Tinubu’s achievements in the past two years were enough to gain the support of Nigerians.
He said: “APC is strong in Abia. Like I said in my interview, I am ready to lay down my life for the party. I am a member of the party and a strong one at that. I am APC to the core. That’s why APC is strong in Abia North.
“Our party will work hard to deliver the President in the state. We have done it in the past, and we will do it again in 2027.”
The former Senate Chief Whip further expressed confidence that Nigeria’s economy would bounce back because Tinubu is working hard to make the naira regain its value.
He said, “The economy needs time to bounce back. The President is working to ensure that the economy bounces back.”
