APC Denies Suspending Senator Orji Kalu, Says PDP Behind Fake Story

The ruling All Progressive's Congress Abia State has dismissed reports that it has suspended its Abia North Senatorial Candidate and Chief Whip of the Senate, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu.

Denying the report which emanated from the "Vanguard Newspapers", the Party's Spokesperson, Okey Ezeala described the reports as the handiwork of the People's Democratic Party.

According to a terse statement signed by Ezeala the party distanced itself from the report stating that there is no iota of truth in it, the party also described the report as false, identifying the Vanguard Reporter "Steve Oko" as paid agent of Kalu’s PDP opponent Mao Ohuabunwa.

Ezeala said that the malicious write-up is occasioned by the PDP's fright to accept tomorrow's imminent defeat. According to the party, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu remains the candidate of our great party as both the party and his constituents are satisfied with his performance.

On the allegation of anti-party activities and other offenses, the party labeled the accusations as entirely false, stating that Orji Kalu has always remained a committed member of the party and its progress.

The party's Spokesperson added that there is no record of Orji Kalu campaigning against any of its candidates nor has the Senate Chief Whip campaigned for any other political candidate besides those of the APC.

The party urged its party faithful and the general public to disregard the report and head to their various polling units to cast their votes for its candidates.
