Senator Orji Kalu: Tinubu Must Complete Two Terms, APC Has Only One Candidate for 2027

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has asserted that President Bola Tinubu must serve two terms, emphasizing that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has only one presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
> “In our party, we have only one presidential candidate now. And Tinubu has to do eight years. You can see the repairs he has done to the economy, and things are starting to pick up again,” Kalu stated during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.



The Abia North Senator and former Abia State Governor also acknowledged the importance of having an Igbo president but ruled out the possibility in 2027.

> “I am not going to discuss anything about the Igbo presidency. But I still tell you there is a need for it. The Igbo must present an acceptable candidate to all Nigerians. No single zone can elect a president. President Tinubu was not elected by the Yoruba alone; he was elected by all Nigerians.”



While Tinubu has not officially declared his re-election bid, Kalu revealed that the APC leadership has already endorsed him.

> “This president is not even doing politics. He has never told anybody he wants to run for election or not. But as a party, we have mandated him to run and given him a vote of confidence,” Kalu added.



He further explained that the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the APC reaffirmed its support for Tinubu’s leadership, with a motion moved by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma and announced by APC National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.

> “So, things cannot just get better in one night,” Kalu concluded.

PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria — Political unrest in Rivers State intensified late Saturday as enraged youth set ablaze the private residence of former Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike. The attack, which occurred on the night of March 15, 2025, stemmed from allegations of political betrayal and destabilization efforts against Governor Siminalayi Fubara of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Wike, once a dominant force in Rivers politics, has been accused of colluding with lawmakers loyal to him in an attempt to impeach Fubara. The move has fueled widespread outrage, particularly from the group “Rivers Youth for Change,” who took to the streets in protest. Witnesses described a tense and chaotic scene as demonstrators stormed Wike’s residence in Port Harcourt, chanting slogans and denouncing his alleged actions. “Wike is a traitor to his people and to the PDP.

The Federal High Court (FHC) has dismissed a viral social media report claiming that the newly assigned judge in the case of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has stepped down. The court described the report as false and misleading. The viral claim, titled “New Judge Steps Down from Nnamdi Kanu’s Case, Says His Arrest Was Wrong,” alleged that Justice John Tsoho, the Chief Judge of the FHC, was the new judge in the case and had withdrawn from it. The report stated: “Justice John Tsoho, the new judge assigned to Nnamdi Kanu’s case, has quit. He said Kanu was brought back to Nigeria from Kenya illegally and, for that reason, he cannot preside over the case without compromising his own beliefs.” However, in an official statement signed by the Chief Registrar, Sulaiman Hassan, the FHC debunked the claims, calling them “entirely unfounded, fictitious, grossly mischievous, and damaging in intent.” The statement further clarified: "T...
