Former governor of Abia state, Chief Orji Kalu on Wednesday decamped to All Progressives Congress (APC) and was officially received by the APC National Chairman, Chief Odigie Oyegun.

The National Chairman of the APC who received the former governor in company of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) thanked him for joining the party.

While decrying the state of APC in South East and South-South, Chief Oyegun said that, “We have one Senator in the South-South and one Senator in the South-East. As a party we want every part of this nation to be represented.”

The former governor had on Tuesday dumped his former party, Progressives People’s Alliance (PPA).
