The Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has faulted claims by the Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu, that he will support All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, during the presidential election.

Ikpeazu, who is a member of the aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party G-5 governors, described the statement credited to Kalu as “wishful thinking”.

The lawmaker had during an interview with Channels Television on Monday said, “Tinubu is well-liked by the North and is from the South-West and is going to get a [sizeable] vote in Imo, Ebonyi, Abia, Anambra and Enugu. And he’s going to have the support of Governor Wike of Rivers State, so we’re on track.

“My governor here, Okezie Ikpeazu, will also support Tinubu. My senatorial district is going to give Tinubu the vote, the puncher to give the 34, 35 per cent to be on the ballot,” he said.

Debunking the claim while speaking after inspecting the ongoing final asphalt overlay on Faulks Road, Aba, Ikpeazu said that “no member of G5 can railroad another member into supporting anyone against his will as suggested by Senator Kalu”.

Backing Ikpeazu, the Director of Strategic Engagement, Abia State PDP Campaign Council, Chief John Kalu, said the claims were just mere politics.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Ikpeazu has not endorsed Tinubu and will not endorse him because he is a leader that is guided by the feelings of his people.

“PDP remains formidable and all our candidates in the forthcoming elections hold very strong prospects of winning, in Abia”, he said.

Neither here nor there. Confused set of people. All we want is a free and fair election. May the best candidate win.

True True, jungle don de mature.

This is not good

We have seen the thread earlier na...abi, how many times you wan push same news to front page

Naso

Ok. I remembered saying this here before

Good....
Ikpeazu is an Atiku boy

Waziri Atiku is the incoming president on sunday

G5 don scatter after wearing Aso ebi up and down. Wike obviously betrayed them by supporting Tinubu. The wisest right now is Ortom, he has switched to the side of the masses by supporting Obi. Anything outside this for any of the other governors is selfishness

The worst Governor has spoken 😆😆😆😆👠

Kalu can lie

The watery beans they gave that ex-convict Kalu in Kuje prison never comot from his brain

E reach to deny Yekini

nairaland resident urchins in severe pain

Funny

who no go deny tilumbu.... Obidient Movement na hurricane. You wan collect ?.

Ofcourse Orji Kalu go collect on Saturday. Surely

That would have been political suicide

They’re all scared because they’ll be retired politically soon. A new Nigeria is POssible!

God bless the incoming President of the federal republic of Nigeria, His Excellency GCFR Peter Gregory Obi!

God bless every progressive Nigerians who have decided to see the light!

God have mercy on Tinubu urchins and make them repent from their evil ways.

APC cannever get 11% votes in the whole south east combined

Orji uzor Kalu is only backing Tinubu because of his selfish ambition. He knows that if Tinubu wins he would become Senate president. That's the only reason why he's fighting tooth and nail to ensure Tinubu wins. Kalu doesn't care about the common abia people.

This I have seen.

Useless party looking for endorsement..

That's how an agbadorian tried to copy Yusuf Alabi by running in front of Tinubu’s convoy
Don’t mess with a drug baron😂😂

Come rain come shine i shall remain Obidient
