After Orji Uzor Kalu decamped to APC, the whole game plan behind it was exposed.
‘The Point’ newspaper reports that the camp of President Muhammadu
Buhari may be planning to replace vice president Yemi Osinbajo with a
politician from the southeast ahead of the 2019 elections.
The paper reports that the presidency plans to woo a former governor
of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu, as a possible replacement for Osinbajo
in the next general elections so as to pacify the southeast.
According to The point, the Buhari camp, sensing a potential loss of
support and electoral votes from the south west, in the event of the
Tinubu forces pulling out, is tinkering with options to win over the
south east and perhaps south south blocs.
“With many gladiators, who joined forces to see APC through to victory
during the last elections already fingered in the movement to form a
new mega party, there is intense calculation being done to get a
crowd-puller from the South East geo-political zone. This is to garner
substantial votes from the region to shore up what may be lost should
the South West go with Tinubu,” one of the sources said.
