Kalu Promises To Deliver South-East To APC

Former Governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu, has reacted to the report that he is planning to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party from the All Progressives Congress, he said APC is “where all Nigerians of note are sitting”.

Kalu stated this while saying that politicians were defecting because of their personal interest and not the interest of the people.

The former governor while speaking with NAN, described the trend in defection as lack of ideology among the nation’s political class.

He stated that politicians should learn to play politics of ideology.

He said, “Those politicians that are defecting are doing so for their selfish interest because they felt that they would not get the ticket from their former parties.

“You saw that when I left the Peoples Democratic Party I did not return rather, I joined APC because it meets my expectations and that is where all Nigerians of note are sitting.’’

Kalu also assured that he was determined to bring the Southeast geo-political zone into the mainstream of the nation’s politics.

I am currently working hard day and night to ensure that APC wins the governorship and National Assembly positions in all the states in the zone.

“My ambition is to make sure that I bring the South-east to sit where other Nigerians are sitting and we must achieve it in 2019,’’ he said.
