Former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzi Kalu, has said that the up coming Saturday presidential election is not yet the best outing for the Igbo people.
This is even as he dismissed the chances of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
He went ahead to stressed that the people of the South-East need the support of five other regions for one of their own to get to Aso Rock.
Kalu who spoke on The 2023 Verdict, Channels Television’s special elections programme on Wednesday also said that the people of the South-East are the best professionals but they do politics with emotions and that does not make them the best politicians.
In his words; “It is not the best outing for us (Igbo people) because for you to become the President of Nigeria, you need other regions.
“I’m well-experienced; I ran for President in 2007 and I’m not sure Nigerians are yet ready for a President of Igbo extraction. I’m not sure because I have tried to nose around that. We have five other regions to come up with and I am not sure.”
“We do politics with emotions and I want Igbos to stop doing politics with emotions; I want Igbos to do practical politics,” he noted.
