Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has officially declared that he will be working against Governor Alex Otti’s re-election bid.
During a recent interview, Kalu stated that while he respects the Governor, he cannot support a candidate from a rival party.
Kalu is a top member of the APC, while Governor Otti is the leader of the Labour Party in Abia. Kalu says it is only natural to support his own party's candidate in 2027.
Despite the "vow" to oppose him, Kalu says he is giving the Governor room to work for now and doesn't want their political battle to cause trouble in the state.
Kalu’s message was simple: "I will work for APC, he should work for Labour Party." He insists that political competition should be about the party's interest, not personal hatred.
