Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has reaffirmed his commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring that his loyalty to the ruling party comes before ethnic or regional interests ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The former Abia State governor reportedly made the declaration while stressing his political commitment to the APC, despite the growing political conversations and alignments ahead of the next general elections.
Kalu made the remarks on Monday, November 9, during an appearance on Arise News’ Prime Time programme, where he discussed his political position, President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid and the expectations surrounding Igbo politicians ahead of the 2027 polls.
The senator specifically ruled out supporting Igbo politicians contesting under other political parties, including the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), insisting that he could not be expected to campaign for candidates outside his party.
He recalled his political journey through the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) and the APC, describing the ruling party as his current political home.
Kalu, however, maintained that he remains proud of his Igbo identity and has consistently defended the interests of the South-East. He argued that ethnic identity should not determine his political allegiance, adding that those who wish to support candidates from other parties are free to make their own choices.
His comments come amid growing political alignments and debates over the South-East’s position as political parties and their supporters prepare for the 2027 general elections.
