TINUBU WILL WIN BY LANDSLIDE – ORJI UZOR KALU
Former Abia State Governor and Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has predicted a landslide victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, citing the administration’s economic reforms and the strength of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kalu made the remarks on Monday, November 9, 2026, during an appearance on ARISE Television’s Prime Time programme.
The former Senate Chief Whip expressed confidence in Tinubu’s re-election prospects, arguing that the President’s economic policies were beginning to produce results despite the hardship experienced by Nigerians.
“President Tinubu will win. President Tinubu have no competition,” Kalu declared.
He maintained that the APC possesses strong grassroots structures and political support that may not be fully reflected in social media discussions.
Defending the administration’s economic policies, Kalu argued that Tinubu had achieved progress in stabilising the economy at the macroeconomic level, although more work was needed to improve the living conditions of ordinary Nigerians.
He acknowledged that the reforms had brought economic difficulties but insisted that such challenges were often associated with major policy changes.
Kalu identified insecurity, agricultural production and manufacturing as critical areas requiring further government attention.
According to him, improving security would enable farmers to return to their farms, while better access to raw materials and a more predictable business environment would help manufacturers increase production.
The senator also defended his continued support for Tinubu despite criticism from some political figures in the South-East, stressing that his loyalty to the APC should not be confused with abandoning his ethnic identity.
Speaking about his political future, Kalu said his immediate priority remained serving his constituents in the Senate, although he would consider the Senate presidency if the opportunity arose.
His prediction comes as political parties intensify preparations for the 2027 general election, with Tinubu seeking a second term amid continuing public debate over economic hardship, security and the impact of his administration’s reforms.
