Tinubu fixing economy, will win 2027 election – Kalu

The senator representing Abia North at the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu, says, President Bola Tinubu will win 2027 presidential election judging by his efforts to fix the economy.

Kalu stated this in his Bende LGA country home during a stakeholders meeting, adding, “He has a Lion’s heart. He is bold. He is not afraid in taking decisions”.

“My desire is to see President Bola Tinubu winning again. I want to see all members of our National Assembly winning again.

“If I win, other people did not follow me, President Tinubu will not have a strong voting power in the National Assembly. So we need strong voting power. We need strong appearance. We need strong behaviour. We need everything to win this state.

On the economy, Kalu said, “President Tinubu has performed very well on the macro economy. On the micro economy, we have not done very well. And the reason is simple because of insecurity everywhere in Nigeria, and he is battling the insecurity.

“So what we are suffering today is a micro-economy problem . The President, Tinubu has done well. He is one of the boldest people you can see in Nigeria”.

The senator used the opportunity to affirm his belief over the issue of state police.

He said, “I have been calling for State Police since I was elected as Governor in 1999. I was the governor that set up the Bakassi which was almost equivalent to State Police. They were working 100% with the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Police, DSS, and other security agencies.

“In my opinion State Police is a must. We have just passed the law to replace the Nigerian Police Force with the Federal Police Services and State Police Services.

“Nigeria must be united. We must support our president to enable our president to help us.

“President Tinubu has no competitors. He has no rivals. Let us not throw away our vote. Let our vote be valid. Let nobody deceive us. We need to be a united Nigeria.

“We have returned back to where we were before because the economy was almost collapsing. That is the truth.

“He is ready to fix the Nigerian economy. He is not going to lose the election because he is trying to fix back the economy, where all of us would be proud to say we are Nigerians.

“With the new strategy, President Tinubu is fighting bandits all over Nigeria now, and they are on the run.

“It takes time for policy to come on stream and work. If I must say the truth, foreign investments are coming, but they are not touching the ground. So I believe that by mid next year, we will see the stimulation of the economy.”
