Abia Patriots, a political pressure group has issued a strong warning to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu over his recent outburst that the support of Governor Alex Otti was not needed for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to win election in Abia.

The group in a statement by its Secretary, Mazi Adindu Madumere said:

“We’re amazed at Senator Kalu’s bootlicking politics, given his public rejection of APC’s presidential candidate in 2023, when he deliberately voided his vote. So, what has changed?”

“The Abia Patriots is shocked and disappointed by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s recent comments, aimed at distracting Governor Alex Otti from his developmental agenda. We urge APC stalwarts to refrain from turning Abia into a theatre of political battles, when other states prioritize socio-economic development.”

“We advise Senator Kalu to focus on representing Abia North effectively, initiating laws that benefit indigenes. As a former two-term governor, he should prioritize Abia’s development as a patriotic statesman, not a party opportunist.”

“Abians are tired of meaningless rhetoric; they deserve peace, progress, and development. The time to support the present government is now.”
