Senator Orji Kalu (APC–Abia North) has pledged to mobilise all efforts to secure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kalu made the commitment during his annual New Year visit to Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, the Chairman of APC in Ebonyi State, at Ekoli in Edda Local Government Area.
The former Abia Governor emphasized that he would leverage all available resources and strategies to ensure that the APC wrests control of the state from the ruling Labour Party.
He said: “I will support President Bola Tinubu and the APC gubernatorial candidate in the elections.
“I will put my heart on the field to ensure that the APC wins landslide in Abia, at the election.

“The incumbent Governor, Dr Alex Oti is my friend but I am not discussing politics, only the total victory of the APC in the elections,” he said.
He further called on all state governors to secure their respective states and not leave such task to President Tinubu.

“When I was Abia governor, I ensured total security of lives and properties.
“There were no cases of kidnapping among other crimes in Abia and this was at a period other states were grappling with heightened insecurity.
“The governors should emulate Gov. Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyii, who has ensured adequate peace and security in the state,” he said.
Kalu stated that he conceived his annual New Year visit to the Ebonyi APC chairman due to his age long loyalty to him.
“He is an embodiment of loyalty and is someone you can trust with your life.
“I raised him as a child, even when his father was alive and he was part of the success stories I recorded as a governor.
“When I handed him over to Former Ebonyi Governor, Sen. David Umahi, I urged him to give his principal 100 per cent loyalty and he has transferred such virtue to the incumbent governor, Nwifuru,” he said.
