Why I Decamped To APC - Kalu by Limitednow: 7:27pm On Nov 16, 2016
ORJI Kalu, former governor of Abia State on Wednesday stated why he decamped from Progressive Peoples Alliance - a party he formed in 2006 - to the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.








Kalu who addressed a press conference said his decision to join the ruling party was to de-bunk speculation that the APC is an  ethnic or religious contraption.


“If they see us in this place, they will know that that APC is not an ethnic or religious party,” Mr. Kalu said.


The former governor admitted that the APC will be a tough sell in the South East, but expressed optimism that it will eventually be accepted after intense lobbying of those that matter in the region.


“It is something that we need to be explaining to the Catholic bishops, Anglican bishops, the Pentecostal churches and the rest of them,” Mr. Kalu explained.


Mr. Kalu also said he registered as a member of the APC on Sunday, while also disclosing that two (2) House of Representative members from the state are joining him to his new party.


“Between Sunday when I registered at Igbere and now, there are 4,000 new members already registered with the APC in Abia without making it open,” Mr. Kalu said adding that “there are two members of the House of Representatives who are there right now that are joining the APC.”


Mr. Kalu was received by the party’s National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, in the presence of other members of the National Working Committee at its Wuse 2, Abuja headquarters.


Mr. Kalu’s move to the APC came two weeks after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission re-arraigned him for corruption he allegedly perpetrated while he was governor of Abia between 1999-2003 on 34 counts of money laundering to the tune of N3.2 billion on October 31.

Therefore if any politician be in APC, he is a new creature: old things are passed away: and behold, all things are become new. (Buhari chapter 20 vs 16) I hope you are aware that come 2019 Association of Past Criminals will be voted out if they continue with these hardship they brought upon Nigerians?

With Kanu decamping the case is naturally dead, since APC members are saints.

English Language is not by force, if u can't speak correctly, kindly use pidgin or ur mother Tongue.

Today, I told a guy "excuse me, please can u go back a little" and he said "PLEASE! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!! I can't go backer than this, this is the backest I can go, can't you see there is somebody in front of my back?"

I managed to say "okay, thank you, bye* & *"FAINTED

There are only two reasons i can give for his action.
1. He did it because EFCC is after him.
2. He has eyes on the office of the Vice President come 2019 presidential election

APC has become a haven for corrupt politicians. If I was Dazuki I will join APC immediately and be free. His crime is that he released money to fund a party trying to prevent a Buhari from becoming president.

Kali joined Apc so that charges against him could swept under the carpet. This is encouraging corruption and lawlessness.
