OUK 2023: Northern Youths Kick Off Campaign, Flood Posters in Bauchi
ARMSTRONG ALLAHMAGANI, Bauchi –
A political group under the umbrella of “Northern Youth Movement for Orji Kalu” have flooded major streets of Bauchi with the posters of the former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, urging him to declare his intention to run for the president in 2023.
NATIONAL ACCORD reports that this is coming few weeks after some Northern youths dragged Kalu to Bauchi State High Court, seeking the court to compel him to contest for president in 2023.
Kalu’s posters were seen at the Bauchi Emir’s Palace round about, Central Market round about, Awalah Hotel round about, Fire Service area, Jos road round about and several other roads and houses in the state.
The group which described Kalu as the best presidential material in 2023, therefore, called on Nigerians to support the former Abia State governor because he is a detribalised Nigerian who can unite the country and save the it from imminent disintegration.
According to them, Kalu’s managerial skill, experience and national appeal put him in the best position to rule Nigeria in 2023. To this end, they therefore, urged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to commence a process of adopting him as the sole candidate of the party.
“This may sound odd in the eyes of Nigerians especially those nursing the intention to run for the number one seat in the land, but Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s acceptability demonstrates the settled resolve of the youths in the 19 Northern states to support him succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
NATIONAL ACCORD reports that several Northern and Southern leaders, Civil Society Groups and youth groups, have continued to call on Kalu, who is the Chief Whip of the 9th Senate, to run for office of the president.
