Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, who made the declaration in an interview with newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos, shortly on arrival from London, noted that he would give his full support to President Jonathan.
He said: “President Goodluck Jonathan is a sole candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Already, Chief Tony Anenih declared that Jonathan will run and as a conscience of the party, being the Chairman of Board of Trustees of PDP, he has already endorsed President Jonathan and we will all align to support him.
So there is nobody in PDP that will be running for presidency come 2015,” Kalu said.

He affirmed that Boko Haram had always been politically motivated to thwart the efforts of the Federal Government, but noted that under the new movement, the sect would be completely wiped out.
“Let me tell you, Boko Haram has always been political and will remain political and it is people that hate President Jonathan.
“Luckily, Boko Haram will be taken care of; I am sure with the new movement, the Chibok girls that they are looking for will be seen and people will be able to calm down. In fact, I cry every night for those girls and I pray for them, innocent girls that have not been seen.
“It is a total blackmail and that will not stop Jonathan from running. I cry for those families; there are tragedies all over the world, Nigeria is not an exception. And Chief Anenih has already said that Jonathan is going to run and I align myself with it.
“I will support him fully to run, four years in a life of a country means nothing, so all PDP candidates should step down for him to run," Orji Uzor Kalu said.
