Former Governor of Abia State Dr Orji Kalu, has stressed that he is not working with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to sabotage the chances of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections, adding that Abia state chapter of the APC is one.
Kalu through a statement by his media office, told the Chairman of the APC National Reconciliation Committee, Senator Abdullahi Adamu to ignore the false claims.
He said, “It is unfortunate, disheartening and wicked that a minority in Abia state, who don’t have the capacity to win elections can make false and defamatory statements against Senator Orji Kalu, who during the 2019 general elections used his resources to win seats in the national assembly despite the stiff resistance by the PDP-led Abia state government.
“Kalu has sustained his leadership in APC in Abia state by consistently deploying human and financial resources to galvanize grassroots support for the party.
“During the 2019 general elections, the former Governor won his Senatorial seat and supported in clinching victory for two seats in the House of Representatives and provided huge support for the APC gubernatorial candidate.
“Kalu will not join issues with anyone as he will not allow people without electoral value to distract him from focusing on delivering the dividends of democracy to the people.
” The former Governor doesn’t belong to any faction as he has always maintained neutrality and played a father to all role in the party”
