Former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu,Facebook
Former Governor of Abia State Orji Kalu has strongly refuted rumours that he is set to dump the of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Kalu, who described the propaganda as the handiwork of political jobbers, stressed that the APC remained the only political party to salvage Nigeria from the atrocities of the previous administrations.
He made this known in a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by his Special Adviser, Kunle Oyewumi.
Kalu maintained that in view of the achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration, the APC was waxing stronger in the South East and Nigeria in general.
He said; “My attention has been drawn to a news report in some online media portals especially PUO Reports, that I am set to dump the APC for the PDP. The malicious report is not only laughable but mischievous.
“This is another attempt by enemies of progress to cause disaffection and confusion in the APC. I remain a solid and committed member of the APC.
“Those behind the falsehood should seek attention from legitimate pursuits. I am not bothered and will not lose sleep over the atrocities of political jobbers. It is no longer news that I will be vying for a seat in the Senate (Abia North) under the APC in 2019.
“I will rather quit politics than to return to the PDP because the APC is the only political party that will take Nigeria to enviable heights. As we approach the 2019 general election, preparations are in top gear to ensure victory for the APC at all levels.”
