The Immediate past Commissioner for Information in Abia State, Chief Eze Chikamnayo has announced the adoption by the 4 major political Parties in the state, of former Governor of Abia and PPA candidate in the Abia North Senatorial election rerun, Dr. Orji as a consensus candidate. Chikamnayo made the announcement yesterday at Arochukwu LGA during the flag-off of ward to ward Campaign by Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu. The former commission, said that the four political parties arrived at the decision after due consultations and appraisal of all the personalities in the race. In his words, “The Abia North election is not an election for Parties, but individuals. We need a man who can stand not just for Abia North but Ndi Igbo. We need a strong voice in the Senate, and Chief Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu represents all the qualities Ndi Igbo need for the job.”
“All the parties in Abia North have resolved to support Kalu for his Senate bid because of what he did when he was governor of the state. Despite the fact that the Arochukwu Road is a federal road, when OUK wanted to reconstruct the road, it was your son, Mao who stalled it, and could not himself cause the Federal Government to re-build the road. Therefore, your son was a complete failure and deserves no other opportunity.”
Some women leaders who spoke at the rally, including 78-year-old Nwannediya Nwosu, Dame Bassie Okereke (National patron Nzuko Aro(women wing) )and Princess Monica Uche, all attested to the goodness of Kalu when he was governor.
They recalled how they benefitted from the free education and free healthcare of the former governor which they said was the reason they are supporting him despite the fact they are in different political parties.
Recall that INEC had earlier disqualified the APGA Candidate Chief David Ogba from participating in the rerun.
