A former governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) in 2011, Prince Paul Ikonne, has accused the ex-governor
of Abia State, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu of anti-party activities.
He said Kalu was in APC but still in ‘hot rommance’ with the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and the governor of the state, Okezie Ikpeazu.
The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who addressed
journalists on Friday in Abuja, said Chief Kalu’s relationship with the
governor was aimed at securing deputy governorship and federal House of
Representatives’ seats for his brothers.
Ikonne, who warned Kalu who joined the APC recently not to repeat
what he allegedly did during his reign as governor of Abia State, said
that they would resist such “devilish act”.
He said, “I know that the Abians will resist and APC members will
also resist it because this kind of action is capable of tearing the
party apart
“Right now, we are building our party. The APC is getting stronger in
Abia. More people are joining the party. More sincere and focused
people are joining the party.
“For Chief Orji Uzor Kalu to have started his game, it is too bad. I
condemn it in all totality. He cannot be in the APC and at the same time
pallying with the sitting governor for his brother to run with him in
2019. Under what platform is this arrangement going to take place
because the governor has not joined the APC yet. Orji Kalu is one leg in
the PDP and one leg in the APC. These are questions begging for answers
and I know Abians won’t take this kind of game again.
“He should concentrate his effort in his Abia north zone and try and
win his senatorial seat, instead of trying to plant his brother to run
for Aba federal constituency and one to run as deputy governor with the
serving governor.
