Former Abia state Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu has distanced himself from posters linking him to the 2015 presidential race.

According to THE SUN, in a statement issued on behalf of Kalu by his media advisor, Mr. Ebere Wabara, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP chieftain said the posters were the handiwork of mischief makers.

Part of the statement read, "The posters depict him severally in continental and the three major different ethnic attires with a catchphrase that reads ‘Orji Kalu for President’ and declares that ‘it is the turn of Igbo to rule this country.’ Kalu had at no time indicated interest in the 2015 presidential election. His manifest and massive support for President Jonathan is unequivocal and unalloyed. The president and other well-meaning Nigerians know this.

"President Jonathan has performed creditably and consequently, earned his party’s exclusive nomination to contest the forthcoming presidential poll. So, for any jester to wake up at this stage and insinuate interest by an incontrovertible party loyalist like Kalu, is sheer dementia.

"It is clear to most PDP members and a majority of Nigerians that President Jonathan has carried on excellently with the revolutionary transformation of this country and deserves to be our party’s standard bearer. In any case, Kalu’s robust support for President Jonathan’s re-election has been unflinching and unreserved. “Almost on a daily basis in local and international arenas, Kalu roots for another chance for President Jonathan to consolidate his re-engineering of the country. Therefore, how can he now in the same breath, be printing unrealistic and illogical posters?”

"We know the circus actors behind these malicious, wicked and irresponsible acts. They have reached their wits’ end. Having exhausted their bags of tricks, deceits and propaganda, the last option now is to futilely pit Kalu against President Jonathan in the ultimate fiasco. Nigerians should disregard such boyish idiocies, clownish stupidities and kindergarten brazenness by imbecilic elements, who thrive in cheap blackmail, mud-slinging and character assassination.

"Let it be clear to everyone, especially the tribe of political spoilers, that Kalu is an ardent and unstoppable backer of President Jonathan in all ramifications. Oppositional deviancy cannot vitiate their mutual and cordial relationship, just as no amount of diabolism can weaken Kalu’s convictions about President Jonathan and his inalienable belief in him.
