declared that the Igbo will not compromise for any other position
other than the post of the President in 2015.
Fielding questions from newsmen shortly after he delivered a lecture
on "Leadership: Key factor to a better Nigeria" at the Professor David
Ijalaiye annual lecture series organized by the Equity Chambers of the
Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile Ife, Dr. Kalu stated that the
Igbo will not settle for any other position.
His words "In 2015 what will happen is that the Igbo will vote for the
Igbo, Yoruba for Yoruba and Hausa vote for Hausa. Then, we will all
come to Abuja to discuss and determine who should be Nigerian
President."
"Anybody who thinks that there is going to be a straight ballot thing
to produce the President in 2015 is only fooling himself ," he added.
The former presidential candidate of the Progressive Peoples Alliance
said although he was currently not in any political party he will
continue to fight against injustice and all that is in the interest of
the good people of the country.
In his lecture, Dr Kalu recalled that since 1967 when the military
came into governance in the country, Nigeria had not been able to
produce any good leader, as according to him most of them are either
not prepared for the office or reluctant to take over the leadership
of the country.
