Former Abia State Governor and Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has declared himself the most important politician in the South East, while challenging Peter Obi to a live debate.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, Kalu said:
“Peter is not my leader. I’m the most important politician from that zone. I have won two states before under the PPA. I have run for president before. My 4.9 million votes are still there since 2007.”

“I achieved a lot with PPA. We had ministers, ambassadors, and several appointments under President Yar’Adua.”
He also called for a public face-off with the Labour Party leader, saying:
“Arrange in your studio a meeting between me and Peter Obi. Put two of us in the same place.”
