Kalu urges his political associates to join APC

Kalu who was governor of Abia state from 1999 to 2007 told his
political associates at his home town in Igbere, to cross to the
ruling party in order to ensure that the party wins the entire- south
east in 2019 general elections.

Kalu noted at the meeting that the party remained the only
political party that would cater for the plight of Ndigbo.
Among prominent Igbo politicians and leaders who attended the
meeting were: Senators Bob Nwanunu and Chris Adighije, who
was the chairman at the meeting.

Others were: Chief Tony Ukasanya, former PDP state chairman;
Chief Sam Nkire, APC BoT member; Donatus Nwamkpa, APC
state chairman; Benedict Godson, APC state publicity secretary;
Ralph Egbu, former Secretary to the State Government (SSG);
Mascot Uzor Kalu, former chief of staff to Abia governor; Obioma
Acho (Chomen); Madukwe Ukaegbu, former deputy chief of staff
to the deputy governor; Princewell Ike Ukegbu, president general
Ibeku Ekwuasa development union, Umuahia; Nnamdi Irom kalu
(Oputaoyom); Uche Akwukwaegbu (BAWAS), traditional Prime
Minister, Ibeku ancient kingdom and K.C Ugboaja.

Kalu while insisting that referring to the APC as Hausa party is a
misconception also noted that under the ruling party, an Igbo
man stands a chance of becoming the president of Nigeria.

“Let me tell you this clearly, APC is not Hausa party as they have
been deceiving the people. APC is not owned by President
Muhammadu Buhari; the possibility of an Igbo man becoming the
President of this country is brighter in the APC than in any other
party including the PDP.

“When we formed the PDP, some people were saying it was
Hausa party as they are saying of APC now, but it was the same
PDP that produced former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and
Goodluck Jonathan who are Southerners,” the ex-Abia governor,"
added.

Consequently, Kalu called on all his political associates, to join
APC and work in their various political wards, to ensure the party
win all the seats in the 2019 general elections.

Meanwhile, Orji Uzor-Kalu who on Tuesday, January 3, visited the
parents of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
Nnamdi Kanu discussed the need for the release of Kanu with
His Excellency Eze I. O Kanu and his wife Ugoeze Sally Kanu.

However, sources within the family said Uzor-Kalu’s visit to the
palace of Eze Kanu was met without much difference from the
reply the former governor got from the IPOB leader in Kuje.
