Kalu made the statement on Monday in response to comments by Abia State Governor Alex Otti, who had criticised his backing of Tinubu. The senator described Otti’s remarks as politically motivated and unbecoming of a sitting governor.

“The expression of my commitment to strengthening APC’s presence in Abia State is not a crime. It is my duty to my party and the people I represent,” Kalu said. He further accused Otti of resorting to personal attacks and inflammatory language instead of engaging in constructive political dialogue, suggesting that such behaviour reflected insecurity rather than leadership.

Kalu highlighted the hypocrisy in Otti’s approach, noting that the governor himself rose to power through party politics and should understand the competitive nature of democratic governance. He also questioned Otti’s frequent use of religious rhetoric in political discourse, emphasising that democracy thrives on opposition, accountability, and free expression.

The senator urged the governor to prioritise governance over political rivalry, particularly in critical sectors such as healthcare, youth employment, and security. “Abians deserve better than a governor who prioritises personal vendettas over progress,” Kalu added.
