Former Governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Kalu, has said he is no longer running for the Senate on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The former governor has therefore asked the party to refund the N5.5m he paid for the nomination and expression of interest forms, which he paid thinking that he would contest the party’s ticket for Abia North Senatorial District.
Kalu,in a letter to the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, dated November 24, said he was withdrawing from the race because the Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, has allegedly concluded plans to hand-pick PDP aspirants in the state.
“Since I was not screened and neither did I go through any of the stipulated processes that lead to the emergence of candidates, I hereby also ask the party, as a measure of honour and good faith, to refund the nomination fees I paid. I will use the money to further empower my constituents in many other ways,” he said in the letter.
He lamented that the governor allowed some high profile members of the party to resign from plum positions to contest for the PDP ticket, when he should have advised them to keep their positions since he already had aspirants he hand-picked to fly the PDP ticket.
“Governor Orji knew ahead of time that he had a candidate in mind but deliberately allowed eminent Abia citizens, like Dr. Alex Otti, the Group Managing Director of Diamond Bank, to resign from his lofty position, when he should have advised him to remain there. - Dailypostng.

Yeah right, I pray he doesn't, and never will. he's a crook and should've even lost more. e dey pain me for body say dem no do am pass like that sef. Kalu does not deserve to be a member of any well meaning Political party, and whichever candidate he is trying to front too would equally be bad news. I believe PDP member's are smarter than that, hence the reason why he is now whining like a baby.
DeletePlease some comments
ReplyDeleteTo think that the Abia governor was Orji Uzo Kalu's boy and won his election while in prison as a result of Orji Uzo Kalu's manoeuvring.
ReplyDeleteNow they don't see eye to eye.
There's no loyalty in politics.
Alex Otti will be fine. Worst case, he will get a ministerial position
In politics there are no permanent friend nor foe..

ReplyDeleteYes!! Mr. blabber mouth is at it again. why am I not surprised, I'm glad he has been denied the ticket. it should definitely be given to someone better abeg, Kalu is just pure bad news. Let him return to his Business and remain there, we don't want him in any for of governing or Law making capacity in this country.
