Former Abia State Governor and Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has declared himself the leading political figure in Nigeria’s South East, rejecting suggestions that Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi is his superior
In an interview on Wednesday, Kalu emphasized his political accomplishments, asserting that his track record in elections and governance outweighs Obi’s.
“Peter is not my leader. I’m the most important politician from that zone. I have won two states before under the PPA. I have run for president before. My 4.9 million votes are still there since 2007,” Kalu said.
He also highlighted his influence at the national level during the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s administration. “I achieved a lot with PPA. We had ministers, ambassadors, and several appointments under President Yar’Adua,” he added.
Addressing Obi directly, Kalu challenged: “Arrange in your studio a meeting between me and Peter Obi. Put two of us in the same place.”
