The former governor of Abia, Chief Orji Kalu, has said that it was more beneficial for the South east to join the All Progressives Congress in order to belong and exploit the benefits of being in mainstream national politics.

Kalu made the call on Friday night during an interaction with journalists at his Camp Neya country home at Igbere in Bende Local Government Area of the state.

He said that the region would contribute more towards the good of the people of the region when they stop being in the opposition camp and instead stand with the decision makers in the ruling party.

He said, “Ndigbo should join APC so as to enable them to sit where other Nigerians are seated to decide on how to move the nation forward.”

He said that the victories recorded by APC in the Edo and Ondo general elections proved that the APC had become acceptable to Nigerians.

He said, “The APC electoral victories in Edo and Ondo clearly showed the popularity of the party.

“So, I did not make mistake in taking the Igbos into the national politics, where other Nigerians are seated. That is where I want the Igbos to sit.

“So there is nothing wrong in our joining APC for us to be able to sit where other Nigerians are seated. That is more important to me.”

He said that it was imperative for other prominent Igbo politicians to swell the number of people from the south east region in APC, including the Minister of Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Chris Ngige, and Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo, amongst others.

Kalu commended President Muhammadu Buhari for fulfilling his promise to resume work on federal roads in the South east.

He said, “During my visit to the president, he made a promise to me and other leaders three months ago that all the contractors would be back to the federal roads before the end of Nov.

“Today, if you go to every federal road in Eastern Nigeria, you will see that all the contractors are back fully and this is why I joined APC.

“I didn’t join the party on selfish basis; I joined because the president made a promise and I have seen that the contractors are back to site.

“And if they are back, why can’t I believe him? He will do more.”

He further said that his interest was for the South east to have good roads, security and opportunities to trade and achieve prosperity.

The former governor, who is a renowned businessman, further spoke on the current economic recession in the country.

He said, “All the nation’s of the world are going through recession, Nigeria is not an exception.

“I’m an international businessman, I am crying in all the countries I am doing business.

“From one country to the other, the story is the same, so we are crying there as we are crying in Nigeria.”

Kalu urged the president to pay attention to the economy as he had done to security.

Buhari taking south east bacause of ouk?
Buhari is being deceived. There are things one cant reveal here cos of 2019 chances but i can assure you that kalu is a dead weight in abia state,talkless of south east. Are you aware than a senate rerun was held in his zone under this govt and he came a distant fourth. Thats the man you are celebrating as an incursion into south east.
If you people are serious,you come and i will show u silent game changers that can help u gain a little ground but they are principled men that wont be bought

KALU IS NOT FIT TO BE CLASSIFIED AS AN IGBO LEADER.


WE SHOULD JOIN APC, DOES NDIIGBO LOOK LIKE LOOTERS WITH SOMETHING TO HIDE TO U?


THE ONLY THING WE WILL JOIN IS BIAFRA.

Orji Uzo Kalu is a fool for telling Igbos to join a demonic party like APC

Orji Uzo Kalu, we know you and what you can do as ashawo party, he enter APC to avoid being detained based on abias money he stolen.

We the Easterners don't need you and your APC what we need is Biafra and still remain Biafra.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE YOUTHS FROM THAT REGION? KALU MADE HIS POINT CLEARLY AND I WAS EXPECTING ANYBODY WHO FEELS THE OTHER WAY ROUND TO COME OUT AND TELL US THAT THE CONTRACTORS ARE NOT BACK BUT INSTEAD OF THAT, THEY RESULT TO INSULTING THE MAN.
PLS WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT, IS IT THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR REGION OR BELONGING TO A PARTICULAR PARTY AT THE EXPENSES OF DEVELOPMENT?
WHAT TANGIBLE DEVELOPMENT IN YOUR AREA TOOK PLACE DURING THE ADMINISTRATION OF GEJ APART FROM THE FACT THAT HE ANSWERED THE NAME "HE IS FROM OUR SIDE"?

freedom of speech is allow. Kanu has the right to say whatever or belongs to any party. but not forcing or asking people to join.

"Go and die!!" - Igbos reply Kalu

A typical igbo politician.. They can't stand for anything in their worthless lives, yet their flatron idiots will go about abusing fine politicians like Tinubu and co.
Others that were in opposition throughout PDP era are mumus right?

There is Governor Rochas, Minister Ngige and many more that will still feel their interests are better-achieved by aligning with and not fighting the president and/or his party.
