Dr. Orji Kalu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Abia has said he is working very hard to ensure the party wins all states in South-East (Igbo land).
Kalu stated this on Friday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Umuahia, the Abia Capital.
The senatorial aspirant for Abia North, said he was determined to bring the Southeast geo-political zone into the mainstream of the nation’s politics.
According to him, “I joined APC because it meets my expectations and that is where all Nigerians of note are sitting.’
“I am currently working hard day and night to ensure that APC wins the governorship and National Assembly positions in all the states in the zone.
“My ambition is to make sure that I bring the South-east to sit where other Nigerians are sitting and we must achieve it in 2019.’’
Kalu reiterated his earlier position that APC would have a landslide victory in the zone in 2019.
He said APC would score at least, 75 per cent votes in Abia and 51 per cent in the other states in the zone.
The business mogul who spoke on the recent defections across different party lines by some prominent politicians in the country, stressed that the actions were intended to satisfy personal interest and “not in the interest of the people.’’
“Those politicians that are defecting are doing so for their selfish interest because they felt that they would not get the ticket from their former parties.’’
“You saw that when I left the Peoples Democratic Party I did not return rather, I joined APC because it meets my expectations and that is where all Nigerians of note are sitting.’’
