“ We’re here today in continuation of our call on senator Orji Uzor Kalu to be bold into this contest having us with him always. You can see that we’re on ground here in Bauchi and are in full support of him.
“Our nation need a man of his kind to put together all that seem to be lost in our nation Nigeria. We can’t say Nigeria is good the way it is today. Even as we thank our father and president Mohamadu Buhari for what he had done and still wish to complete before his remaining days in office, we’re also interested with who takes over the baton of leadership and Orji Uzor Kalu is good enough for the job”.
It’s impressive that youths in the north are thinking of a United Nigeria, where all stakeholders are included in leading the nation right.

“We’re not sentimentally attached to supporting any candidates from the north, what we’re interested in is fairness to all. Nigeria does not belong to one tribe, race nor religion. We have chosen to Support Orji Kalu from the southeast because it’s the right thing to do. He’s a detribalized leader, his intelligence is unique and needed to build the nation.
“We have grown in this country, knowing that the nation has three tripod stands on majorities. The Igbo, Hausa and the Yoruba. Why should we leave the Igbo’s behind? Can any of our leaders from the North nor West give us an explanation why?
“We’re committed to the election of 2023 as you can see here today. And I tell you, this is just the beginning”. He concluded.
It could be recalled that groups allover the nation are drumming support for Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for the coming 2023 presidential race. Would it be zoned to the South East?
