A former Abia State governor and serving senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has downplayed the strength of opposition parties ahead of the next electoral cycle, describing them as weak and largely aligned with the ruling camp.
Speaking on the political landscape, Kalu stated that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not currently considering any running mate, emphasizing that the president remains focused on governance rather than early campaign strategies.
The senator further noted that many individuals within opposition ranks maintain cordial relationships with the president, suggesting that political rivalries may not be as intense as often portrayed. According to him, the opposition should concentrate on presenting clear and practical alternatives if they hope to challenge the ruling party effectively.
Kalu’s remarks come amid growing political conversations surrounding future elections, with stakeholders across party lines beginning to position themselves. His comments reflect a broader narrative within the ruling circle that confidence remains high regarding Tinubu’s political standing.

Observers believe that such statements could shape public discourse in the coming months, especially as political actors begin to articulate their visions and strategies. While the opposition has yet to formally unveil its agenda, Kalu insisted that the real test would lie in offering policies that surpass the current administration’s performance.
