“If I Was Irrelevant, Why Visit My House?” — Orji Kalu Fires Back At Otti.
The Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has challenged claims of his political irrelevance, asserting that Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, would not have emerged victorious in the last governorship election without his intervention.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Nivo News, Kalu made the assertion in a statement issued on Tuesday by his media office and signed by George Maduka. The statement alleged that Governor Otti personally visited Kalu’s residence in Igbere late on the night before the election to seek his support.
The senator further claimed that key figures involved in the Labour Party’s 2023 campaign in Abia State, including the party’s state coordinator, Umeh Kalu, were part of discussions with him concerning the governorship contest. He argued that such engagements contradict claims that he lacked political influence in the state.
Questioning the narrative of irrelevance, the statement asked why his residence would have been visited on the eve of the election if his political standing was insignificant. Kalu maintained that the ruling party does not rely on Governor Otti to secure electoral victories in Abia, insisting that the All Progressives Congress remains cohesive and formidable in the state.
The senator reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring the APC’s success in Abia during the 2027 general elections. His remarks followed Governor Otti’s endorsement of the Labour Party’s candidate for Abia North, a move aimed at unseating Kalu in the next election cycle. The governor had earlier declared that the Labour Party would defeat the senator in 2027.
