Mascot Uzor Kalu, the brother to the Chief Whip of the
Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has reportedly dumped the All Progressives
Congress to form a new political party,
Action Peoples Party.
Senator Kalu, on Thursday, reacted to the development saying
he was surprised as he was not informed.
Posting on his Facebook account, he said, “I have received
several calls from friends, associates, political stakeholders and leaders of
thoughts seeking my opinion on the defection of my brother, Mascot, from the
APC to Action Peoples Party, APP.
“Sincerely, the National Chairman, two Deputy National Chairmen of our great party including the Senate President persuaded him to remain with the APC but he declined.
“I was surprised to hear that he alongside other
stakeholders launched the new party, Action Peoples Party, APP, yesterday, in
Umuahia without informing me.
“Well, I don’t have any issue with my brother; he has the
right to take a decision on his political future, and, as a democrat, I
acknowledge his right to determine his political affiliation and wishes him
well.”
Uzor Kalu concluded, “I remain the Chief Whip of the Senate
and a committed member of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“I am even more determined to serve my people and facilitate
more dividends of democracy to them.”
Mascot Kalu is a former Chief of Staff to the Abia State
Governor and the APC candidate in the last by-election for Aba North and Aba
South federal constituency seat.
