Former governor of Abia, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has called on his Igbo “brothers” to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kalu said this during an interaction with journalists at his “Camp Neya” country home at Igbere in Bende Local Government Area of the state.
He said the victory of the APC in Edo and Ondo has shown the acceptance of the party by Nigerians.
“Ndigbo should join APC to enable them to sit where other Nigerians are seated to decide on how to move the nation forward.
“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 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.”
Speaking further, Kalu commended President Buhari for returning contractors to federal roads in the South-East.
“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 November.
“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,” Mr. Kalu said.
