President of the ECK Foundation, Dr. Emeka Kalu, has given his support to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s ambition to contest for the presidency in 2027, highlighting the former VP’s competence to take the country out of the present economic and security comatose.
While speaking on Thursday, July 31, Kalu cited Atiku’s experience and tenacity as the key factors that made him a strong candidate to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
He declared that supporting Atiku could be a strategic move for the Igbo people, potentially paving the way for Mr. Peter Obi in the future and giving the Igbo community a say in Nigeria’s power dynamics.
He insisted that Atiku’s leadership experience and vision were the essential assets for revitalizing Nigeria’s economy, noting that Atiku’s tenure as vice president showcased his ability to drive economic liberalization, trade investments, and job creation.
Also, he expressed that Atiku had the political ability to foster relationships across Nigeria’s diverse regions, stressing that this made him an ideal candidate to unify the country.
According to him, Atiku’s national appeal could bring people together and transcend ethnic and political divides.
He added, “An Atiku presidency will lead to significant advancements in investment, infrastructure, and security and will ultimately revitalize Nigeria’s crumbling economy.
“Also, Atiku is a detribalized Nigerian who can bring people together. It is regrettable that ethnic tensions have plagued Nigeria’s political landscape for a long time.”
Besides, Kalu emphasized the importance of unity among opposition parties, warning that any coalition without a unified purpose would be ineffective.
He further urged Nigerians to rally behind Atiku’s candidacy, citing the need for selfless, capable, and trusted leadership to restore Nigeria’s economic stability as some of his belief in the 2023 presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
