Your statement is a confirmation of internal sabotage the APC suffered during the 2023 elections – Former Minority Leader Chukwu slams Orji Kalu

The former Minority Leader of the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Chijioke Chukwu, has faulted claims by former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu that he worked for the emergence of Governor Alex Otti in the 2023 general election against his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Chukwu described the statement as a confirmation of the internal sabotage the APC suffered during the 2023 elections, attributing the party’s misfortune to the actions of key figures, including Senator Kalu.

He urged the party leadership to be vigilant and guard against similar conduct ahead of the 2027 elections.

While acknowledging that Governor Otti has not done enough with the resources available to Abia State, the former lawmaker maintained that Senator Kalu’s actions were driven by personal political interests rather than the collective good of the APC.

Chukwu further stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shown magnanimity to Abia State through strategic appointments and federal projects, noting that such gestures would be reciprocated with massive support in the 2027 elections.

He expressed confidence that the APC is well-positioned to take over the reins of power in Abia State, stressing that the party remains committed to liberating the state from what he described as poor governance.
