Former Abia Governor and Senator Orji Uzor Kalu says President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election by a landslide.

He made the remarks on Monday on Arise PrimeTime, the evening current affairs programme on Arise News.

Kalu, who chairs the Senate committee on the South East Development Commission, defended Tinubu's economic reforms.

He said the government has stabilised the economy at the big picture level, but that ordinary people and businesses are still struggling.

He said the next task is to get farming going again, improve security, and help factories get raw materials so they can produce more and create jobs.

He acknowledged that many Nigerians are suffering, but said hardship is part of reform.

"You can't do reform without people suffering," he said.

He also said Tinubu has improved Nigeria's relations with international partners and is attracting investors.

Kalu said the APC is strong and has widespread support across the country, and that what people see on social media does not reflect what is happening on the ground.

He also asked Nigerians to keep the country united and let Tinubu serve his two terms, just as Buhari did.
