Tinubu fixing economy, will win 2027 election – Kalu

Senator Orji Kalu expressed strong confidence in President Bola Tinubu's prospects for the 2027 election, attributing this belief to the president's economic reform efforts. Kalu stated that Tinubu possesses a "Lion's heart" and is unafraid to make decisions, qualities he believes will lead to electoral success.

He has a Lion’s heart. He is bold. He is not afraid in taking decisions

"My desire is to see President Bola Tinubu winning again," Kalu said during a stakeholders meeting in his hometown. He emphasized the need for a strong voting bloc in the National Assembly to support the president's agenda, suggesting that a united front is crucial for victory.

My desire is to see President Bola Tinubu winning again.

Addressing the economy, Kalu differentiated between macro and microeconomic performance. He credited Tinubu with strong macro-economic achievements but noted that insecurity hinders micro-economic progress. "The President, Tinubu has done well. He is one of the boldest people you can see in Nigeria," Kalu asserted, highlighting the president's battle against widespread insecurity.

“

President Tinubu has performed very well on the macro economy. On the micro economy, we have not done very well. And the reason is simple because of insecurity everywhere in Nigeria, and he is battling the insecurity.

The senator also reaffirmed his advocacy for state police, a cause he has championed since his governorship in 1999. He believes state police are essential for effective law enforcement and cited the recent legislative move to establish them. "Nigeria must be united. We must support our president to enable our president to help us," he urged, dismissing the idea that Tinubu has significant political rivals.

In my opinion State Police is a must.
