Former Abia state governor Orji Uzor Kalu and national chairman of the APC John Odigie-Oyegun

Its Official!

Ex-governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu has formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).


Orji Kalu was received at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja today, Wednesday, November 16 by its National Working Committee led by national chairman John Odigie-Oyegun.

The Punch quotes Kalu as saying that he agreed to join the ruling party after pressure from his friends and supporters who wanted him to contribute his quota to building the party in the South East and Nigeria.

Before his move to APC, Kalu had just resigned as a member of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) where he was one-time chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees and PPA’s candidate for president in the April 2007 general elections.

The Punch reports.

This is what happens when you cannot cook your own soup rather will prefer your neigbours pot of soup. If only OUK concentrated on building his party, if only he performed very well without abusing the opportunity and love that Igbos gave him, If only he understood the worth of that..... but he took all that for granted and today he is an empty barrel making noise. APC, don't rejoice yet , because this dude has no one to sway to your party. A good market sells itself.... Its an Igbo adage!
