Orji Uzor Kalu Set To Join APC As His Mother And Brothers Defect

Leader of the Reality Organisation in the
South-East and mother of former Abia State
Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and her
members have officially joined the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Also, former member of the House of
Representatives, Hon Nnanna Uzor Kalu
and ex-Chief of Staff to Governor Theodore
Orji, Mr. Mascot Uzor Kalu, who are
siblings of the former governor joined the
APC.
The decampees were received by the
President-elect, General Mohammadu
Buhari, when he visited Imo State
yesterday to thank the people for voting for
him as well as asking them to also vote for
Governor Rochas Okorocha and APC House
of Assembly candidates in Saturday
elections.
Speaking at a Town Hall meeting in
Owerri, Buhari expressed confidence that
the APC will experience credible polls in
South East and South-South, better than
what happened during the Presidential and
National Assembly elections two weeks
ago.
The President-elect noted that South-East
states have exhibited courage and
commitment and so deserve the system of
change to be brought by the incoming APC
government.
“Okorocha and the governors of Rivers and Edo
have shown courage to the system of APC. The
vote of the people is their strength and if it is
allowed to count, they can vote out a government
that does not meet their expectations and this is
what the APC government stands for,” he said.
While promising to give the South-East
zone a level playing ground in his
administration, he urged the electorates to
vote all the APC governorship candidates
at the weekend’s election.
Present at the event were the National
Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-
Oyegun, Senator Chris Ngige, Prince Eze
Madumere, Senator Osita Izunaso, the Imo
State House of Assembly Speaker, Ben
Uwajumogu, among other APC leaders
across the South East.
Meanwhile, speculations are rife that ex-
Governor Kalu may follow his mother and
brothers to join the APC. Daily Sun
gathered that the APC leadership has been
mounting pressure on Kalu to join the
party.
When contacted on this, Kalu said he was
about boarding a plane in London for
Abuja and would not comment.
Orji Uzor Kalu was recently spotted
dancing shoki as the Isiukwuato
community declared total support for his
unsuccessful senatorial race.
