Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has vowed to resign from the All Progressives Congress, APC, if President Bola Tinubu disrespect the opposition and the Catholic church.

Kalu, however, said Nigerians should not expect Tinubu to lay red carpet for the opposition in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 elections.

The former Abia State governor spoke while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He said: “Will you just lay red carpet for the opposition to come and be dancing around if you are a politician?

“Tinubu is fair to them, he has not touched any of them unknowingly.

“The law of the land is very straightforward and if you respect the law of the land you will be well in the country.

“What he said is that he can’t give the opposition red carpet. If I’m your enemy will you give me a red carpet? If I’m fighting with you, will you give me red carpet?

“I’m a very fair minded man who speaks the truth, if I heard what he said that we are going to have a fair contest and he won’t touch anybody.

“Any day Tinubu disrespect the opposition or Catholic church I will resign from the APC.”

Political commentator, Imran Wakili has alleged that President Bola Tinubu has repeatedly acted without consequences, claiming the President could even “write his own election result” in 2027 without facing any challenge.

In a post on X on Thursday, Wakili cited what he described as instances of constitutional violations, including the suspension of a sitting governor, the continued detention of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, and the reported freezing of Osun State Government’s accounts.
