Na wa o! Naija politics dey enter one serious wahala again, as Abia State government don begin question Senator Orji Kalu loyalty to President Bola Tinubu. This koko no be play matter, especially as e concern di last elections wey happen for 2023.
Kalu, wey represent Abia North Senatorial District, win im own election, but the surprising gbege be say, President Tinubu no fit carry di vibe come Abia North ogbon. E look like say na Kalu dey swim for different river wey no dey connect to di bigger ocean wey be Tinubu o! Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, no just wan gree talk, e go after Kalu wey don dey talk say APC go take over Abia State for 2027.
Kalu yarn say, “Alex Otti Is My Friend, I No Go Discuss Politics. I Go Just Vote For My Party APC. I Go Work For President Tinubu Make Him Win For Abia”, but Otti no dey feel am at all, as e respond through im media aide, Ferdinand Ekeoma. E go after Kalu head dey demand evidence of wetin e don do for elections wey don pass. Kalu dey claim say him dey work, but na who him dey work for?
Otti administration don throw serious eye for Kalu, as dem recall how APC lose woefully for Kalu constituency during di last elections. Dem talk say e don reach time wey Kalu gatz show di results wey go prove say im work for Tinubu. Oyi! Dem talk say if Kalu fit convince di people for im side, how come di whole APC no fit enjoy di same glory?
Otti no don shake for Kalu own, as e send strong message say Kalu dey make serious mistake if him dey give Otti subtle threats. Dem dey remind am say threats no be wetin go fit shake Otti, rather na motivation wey go ginger am to do wetin e dey do well!
Otti no wan take Kalu serious as e finish dem talk say Kalu fit show im results for di last election. Di results wey INEC bring come out dey show clear say APC no fit win for any side wey Kalu hail from for Bende LGA. Dem go really like make Kalu explain wetin happen, especially as di people of Abia dey appreciate wetin Otti don do for di state since e don become Governor.
Dem even talk say, if Kalu fit draft im younger brother, Mascot Kalu, into di race for 2027, na better strategy or wetin? Because na di same brother wey run for 2023 election under Action Peoples Party (APP) and end for last position. Na serious gbege to try am again o!
As we dey observe di political game for Abia, four strong Senatorial Aspirants from Labour Party don show interest to run, and dem no go gree make anybody step dem down. Otti don assure dem say once dem win di primaries, di governor go back dem up to bring di seat home. Na who go carry di crown at di end?
Nigerians, especially Abia people, no dey sleep on top dis matter, as Otti don secure 175,466 votes for 2023 Abia governorship election, wey give am di win pass Okey Ahiwe wey represent di PDP wey get only 88,526 votes. E no be small tin!
So for Kalu, naija dey ask serious questions about wetin e dey claim, and we dey watch as di drama unfold. Abia State people don choose, and dem don show through di last elections who dem wan lead dem again come 2027. E go be wahala! Make we keep our eyes for ground, as dis gist dey develop.
