EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor-Kalu, has congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for electing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the party’s candidate for the 2023 presidential election.
Kalu in a statement on Sunday stated that Atiku’s victory during the PDP presidential primary meant that Nigerians understood the 2023 political calculations.
He agured that since Atiku hails from the North-East geopolitical zone, the All Progressives Congress should also give its ticket to a candidate from the same North-East.
The statement read, “I congratulate the PDP for electing a North Easterner as their presidential candidate. Nigerians must have seen what I saw yesterday. For our party, the APC, it is no longer feasible to talk about Southern candidates except the APC wants to go on a political retirement.
“I urge the National Chairman of the party and the entire NWC to stamp their feet and zone the APC presidential ticket to the North-East.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has a right to choose his successor and I call on him to pick Senator Ahmad Lawan as his successor.
“In every democratic setting, presidents and governors support and pick their successors. I call on President Buhari to pick a successor from the North-East and that will be the equity the South-East needs. With the North-East, the cycle will be closest to completion of regions producing the president of Nigeria.

“Congratulations to the North-East as we look forward to a president of Nigeria from the North-East.”
