Former Abia State governor and senator representing Abia
North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has declared that he will oppose the re-election of Abia
State Governor, Alex Otti, in the 2027 governorship poll.
Kalu insisted that party loyalty must come before personal
friendship.
He made the remarks in an interview on Channels Television’s
Sunrise Daily.
The senator stressed that he maintains a strong relationship
with Otti, noting that political differences should not destroy personal ties.
According to him, he remains committed to the All
Progressives Congress, APC, while Otti is a member of the Labour Party.
“I always believe if he wants to be his party, be your party
and vote for your party. I’m a member of APC. I will work for APC. He should
work for Labour Party. We should not lose friendship,” Kalu said, adding that
his priority is to maintain peace and political stability in Abia State.
Despite pledging to give the governor room to work, Kalu was
firm about his stance ahead of the 2027 election.
“I will oppose it because my party will be fielding a
candidate. That’s it. It is about the interest of the party,” he stated.
