PDP Wants To Cause Confusion – APC Denies Suspending Orji Uzor Kalu
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu was not suspended, according to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which claimed that the alleged story was untrue.
On Friday, February 24, 2023, it was reported that the Abia State branch of the APC had suspended Kalu, the former governor of Abia State and current Chief Whip of the Senate.
In response to the report, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was behind it, according to the spokesperson for the Abia State APC, Hon. Okey Ezeala, to create confusion a few hours before the elections.
The APC said it clearly distanced itself from the report, insisting that Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North senatorial district, remains the party’s candidate in the Saturday election.
Ezeala in the statement alleged a paid agent of Kalu’s PDP opponent, Mao Ohuabunwa, was behind the report.
He added that the malicious write-up is occasioned by PDP’s fright of tomorrow’s imminent defeat.
“He is not suspended from the party and the party has no contemplation in that regard and there are no issues whatsoever to warrant such.
“Neither did the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, Paul Nwabuisi, State Secretary, Chief Chidi Avajah, and the State Chairman, Dr Kingsley Ononogbu or any party executive sit or agree to issue such a letter.”
