Senator Orji Uzor Kalu reveals how Ikpeazu allegedly sealed deal to join APC

OKEZIE IKPEAZU GOVERNOR OF ABIA HAS PROMISED TO JOIN APC-ORJI UZO KALU

According to the Senator and former Governor of Abia State, He was asked about His opinion on the issue to party defection that is going on currently in Nigeria. He said that David Umahi has made the promise to join APC many years ago before he finally joined this month. he also said that the current governor of Abia state Okezie Ikpeazu has also promised to join APC. In his words he said that party is just an identity to win election, he encouraged those around him that the brotherhood should continue despite the party affiliations.

‘Ikpeazu promised to join APC during his supreme court trial’ – Orji Kalu

Senate Chief Whip and Senator representing Abia North has hinted that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu would soon dump the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressive Congress, APC.

Kalu, a chieftain of APC, disclosed this in Umuahia while fielding questions from newsmen after a condolence visit to the member representing Umuahia East state constituency, Hon. Chukwudi Apugo over the demise of his mother, Madam Dorothy Apugo.

The former governor claimed that Ikpeazu promised to join APC during his first electoral case at the Supreme Court.

Kalu who expressed delight over the recent defection of Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi State from PDP to APC said they were awaiting the arrival of Okezie in APC.

His words: ”We have been waiting for Umahi because he made us the promise long ago like Abia governor Ikpeazu.

”We are waiting for Ikpeazu unless he changes his mind. One of my friends, a top security czar in Nigeria told me that when Ikpeazu was going for his first Supreme Court judgement, he promised that he would go to APC.

”I was called to agree to welcome him, and I agreed. APC is a party for all”.

Meanwhile efforts to reach Ikpeazu did not succed as his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka did not pick calls put across to him by our Correspondent.

Commissioner for Information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu, had however, in a recent media interview, dismissed rumours that Ikpeazu was plotting to defect to APC as false, insisting that the governor has no such plans.

The former Abia Governor who claimed he was the first person to doll out the initial N500 million to sponsor PDP at ex President Olusegun Obasanjo’s house, said APC meant well for Ndigbo contrary to perceptions in some quarters.

Asked how he felt about the recent call to assume the role of political leader of Abia state, Senator Kalu said he appreciated the invitation but added that he would not yet do so when there was a sitting governor.

” I can’t assume the position of a leader when there is a sitting governor”, Kalu said.

He boasted that APC would sweep Abia State come 2023.

Earlier in his interaction with Apugo, he said he came to condole with the lawmaker over the death of his mother as he could not attend the burial following crucial engagements at the senate.

He urged him not to over sorrow over the loss of his mother who he said lived a good life.

Orji prayed God to grant the Apugo dynasty and all those affected by the demise of the late Madam Dorothy the fortitude to bear the loss.

Responding, Hon Apugo thanked the former governor for identifying with them during their moment of grief despite belonging to a different political party.

The lawmaker said the former governor had shown true leadership by jettisoning partisan politics to identify with political opponents.

On the entourage of the former governor were some APC lawmakers in the Abia State House of Assembly; Kalu’s brother, Mascot Uzor Kalu; and some APC top shots.

Former Speaker of Abia House of Assembly, Chinwendu Kalu was also on ground to receive him.

Watch how Ikpeazu sins will be forgiven and most importantly, how Nairaland resident zombies will start singing his praises.

Hahaha........Let's wait until Mr Obi starts marketing them. My dilemma is in how they will swallow all the incentives on PMB , they going as far as calling Buhari dead and APC the party of Boko Haram

I don't understand? All those things you listed there were not started under Apc, Jonathan commissioned the Enugu International Airport, so what are you saying. Pdp gave SE Sgf, Senate President. What has Apc done for SE?

Bkayyy:

With second Niger Bridge.
Onitsha River port.
Enugu International Airport.
Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.
Now, let me throw the question back to you. How will PDP be marketed in SE?

What happened to Enugu international airport? It wasn't built in this administration. Again, the Enugu-Onitsha expressway wasn't started in this administration. The second Niger bridge was also not started in this administration, neither has it been completed. In fact, the previous government did the concessioning and all that.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Okezie Ikpeazu is not an asset but a liability to ndi Abia or any political party.
I wish his defection to APC will make him use the remaining years he have in office to work for Abia state but I don't think so.The guy is a clown.
