I will deliver Abia to APC in 2027 — Orji Kalu

Senator Orji Kalu has pledged to use all his resources to help the All Progressives Congress (APC) win in Abia during the 2027 general elections.

Kalu made this commitment during his annual New Year visit to the Chairman of the APC in Ebonyi, Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, in Ekoli, Edda Local Government Area.

The former Governor of Abia stated that he would do everything possible to ensure that the APC takes power from the ruling Labour Party in Abia.

“I will support President Bola Tinubu and the APC gubernatorial candidate in the elections.

“I will put my heart on the field to ensure that the APC wins landslide in Abia, at the election.

“The incumbent Governor, Dr Alex Oti, is my friend but I am not discussing politics, only the total victory of the APC in the elections,” he said.

He urged state governors to secure their respective states and not leave such task to President Tinubu.

“When I was Abia governor, I ensured total security of lives and properties.

“There were no cases of kidnapping among other crimes in Abia and this was at a period other states were grappling with heightened insecurity.

“The governors should emulate Gov. Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi, who has ensured adequate peace and security in the state,” he said.

Kalu noted that he conceived his annual New Year visit to the Ebonyi APC chairman due to his age long loyalty to him.

“He is an embodiment of loyalty and is someone you can trust with your life.

“I raised him as a child, even when his father was alive and he was part of the success stories I recorded as a governor.

“When I handed him over to Former Ebonyi Governor, Sen. David Umahi, I urged him to give his principal 100 per cent loyalty and he has transferred such virtue to the incumbent governor, Nwifuru,” he said.
