One of the presidential aspirants under the All Progressive Congress, APC, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has reportedly stated that the former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, and other aspirants cannot outspend him during the upcoming APC presidential primary election.
He reportedly disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television.
Commenting on if Tinubu was a threat to his presidential ambition, he said, “No! and I am not a threat to his ambition. By the time we meet in Eagles Square, this issue will be settled.”
Kalu noted, “Mind you, politics is not only about money; it is about the people you are going to govern -the people of the North-West, the people of North-East, the people of North-Central, the people of the South-East, the people of the South-West, and the people of South-South, and we have the people. I can move the people and the people are with me.”
He disclosed, “It was circumstance from the South-East, South-West, North-West, North-Central, and North-East that made me decide to join the race. I was governor with him (Tinubu), there is nothing difficult in challenging anybody.”
He remarked that “We are all going to meet at the Eagle Square, and we will square it out there. There is no difficulty. I am the only political businessman that is first recognised as a billionaire, and I am not sure that there is anything those people can do, in terms of money, that I cannot do. I don’t think they can speak to anybody in Nigeria or in the world that I cannot speak to.”
