I will consider contesting if APC zones 2023 presidency to South-East - Orji Uzor Kalu

Former Governor of Abia state and Chief Whip of the Senate, Sen. Orji Kalu has said that he will consider contesting for the 2023 presidency if the All Progressives Congress (APC) zones its presidential ticket to the South-East region.

 Addressing reporters after arriving Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Tuesday January 11 , following the Christmas and New Year break, the former Governor noted that he has not fully made up his mind to contest.

 Kalu said;

 

“I want to continue to thank people who are putting up my posters all over Nigeria, I have not made up my mind whether to vie for president or not.

“But if opportunity is given to the South-East, I will think again to see if there is room because the party has not said where they are zoning the president to.

“But I know the party will bring a president who will work for the unity of the country which is more important."

We will not achieve anything with the wrong attitude - Cristiano Ronaldo offers rallying cry to Manchester United teammates as he supports interim boss Ralf Rangnick

Image
 Superstar footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo has stated his belief that Ralf Rangnick can do a good job at Old Trafford but insisted that the Manchester United interim boss needs more time. The German tactician was employed by the Red Devils until the end of the season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked following a run of humiliating losses in November. But Ragnick, 63, admitted he fears he does not have the time or influence to solve the club’s troubles before his job as interim manager ends in May.  Rangnick faces a toxic atmosphere at Old the club with morale low as up to half the squad want to leave the club with some on expiring contracts and the dressing room divided into cliques,  leaving United seventh in the Premier League. But Ronaldo who joined the club in the summer, believes the interim boss can turn the situation around but he needs more time to get his ideas across to the players.  'Since he arrived five weeks ago he changed many things,' Ronaldo told S...

Police said he was arrested at a brothel in Mpape on November 5 around 5am “after his supposed client raised alarm upon discovery that he was actually a man and not a woman as he claimed.” When speaking with journalists, Omika denied the allegations but admitted that he met the man in a bar while he was with his sisters. He explained that the complainant offered to buy him drinks, but he turned down the offer because he does not take alcohol.  According to him, he and his sisters were in the bar to look for jobs, but the man informed him that they could get employment at the bar. ...
