Former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu has disowned posters indicating that he has already declared to run for the presidency in 2023 under the platform of All Progressives Congress, APC which flooded Umuahia, the capital of Abia State on Monday.
The posters, which bore the inscription: “Vote Dr Uzor Kalu for President, A New Nigeria is here” which were largely seen at Abia Towers’ roundabout, on Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.
The posters, allegedly powered by the Arewa Youth, have other inscriptions that described Kalu as a heavy weight politician and a nation builder as well as a man poised to salvage the economy.
But Kalu’s media aide, Mr Maduka Okoro, told Metronetworknews that his boss did not have anything to do with the posters.
Okoro said that the former governor has not declared his intention to contest the 2023 presidency.
He described it as the handiwork of those who either love Kalu for the good he is doing or those who with other intentions.
“We did not paste posters of Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu anywhere. We have not contemplated on that and we have not made any categorical statement”.
“We are busy trying to create history for our people renovating schools, building roads and other projects, so that our people can enjoy the dividends of democracy,” Okoro said.
