APP guber candidate Mascot Kalu consults with Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, seeks a common front

Barely 24 hours after the United Nations Mayor of peace and first runner up in the just concluded Peoples Democratic Party PDP (PDP) gubernatorial primaries in Abia State congratulated the winner of his party's primaries Prof Uche Eliazar Ikonne, the Action People's Party (APP) guber candidate for Abia state, Chief Mascot Uzor Kalu, has paid him a courtesy visit with both leaders sharing issues of common concern to them

Chief Mascot Uzor Kalu who spoke exclusively to Ikoro FM News said he was at the country home of the businessman and politician to consult with him on how to forge a common front and move the state forward among other issues.

Chief Kalu said Mayor Igbokwe as a young successful business man and APP share a common interest in youth empowerment and it will be good to have him as a partner in progress

On the chances of his party winning elections in the state, Chief Kalu said people view the APP as a new party, but are quick to forget that the party is made up of people. He argued that he is the most experienced among all those contesting for the Abia guber race having been in government before and therefore more prepared to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Abia if elected.

On his relationship with his brother, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, since his defection from the All Progressive Congress (APC), he said their relationship remains cordial. He stated that his brother was aware of the ill treatment meted out to him by his former party. He added that he consulted OUK before the move to his present party.
