Sowore had described developments in Aba during a protest for the release of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu as “half-transformation” rather than full progress.

Reacting via his handle, Charly Boy described Sowore as “a green snake under green grass” and accused him of being a spy for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Published

The Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied reports claiming that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, endorsed Governor Alex Otti for re-election in 2027.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

reports that the APC Publicity Secretary in Abia State, Uche Aguoru, dismissed the alleged endorsement in a statement issued on Friday, describing it as misleading, malicious, and a fabricated propaganda being circulated by the governor’s media team.

The party also criticised what it described as attempts by the Otti administration to seek validation, questioning why a government it accused of self-praise was allegedly “shopping for endorsements.”

Aguoru said the party would ordinarily not have responded but chose to clarify the matter to prevent the public from being misled by false information.

According to the statement, “Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu remains a loyal, committed, and dedicated party man, as well as the undisputed leader of the APC in Abia State.”

It further stressed that Kalu has never at any time, publicly or privately, endorsed Governor Otti for a second term.

The APC maintained that the Deputy Speaker remains fully committed to strengthening the party’s chances in future elections and ensuring victory across all positions in Abia State, including the governorship in 2027.

It added that Kalu remains resolute in his opposition to the current Labour Party-led administration in the state, which the party accused of poor governance and mismanagement in key sectors.

The statement urged residents of Abia State to remain united and continue supporting the APC, which it described as a credible alternative capable of delivering better governance in the state.
