Na wa o! Gisting from Abia State, we get serious matter wey don dey hot.
Political pressure group, Abia Patriots, don respond sharp-sharp to former Governor and Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu. This matter sabi dey hot because Senator Kalu talk say Governor Alex Otti no need to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC to carry Abia State come dem hand. Chai! Na wetin be dis?
Kalu talk say na im alone fit deliver APC for di state, without Governor Otti joining the exercise. Wetin him mean? Through him media aide, George Maduka, Kalu don dey lash Otti, say di Governor dey “overestimate him political relevance.” Hmm, Kalu even throw back some gist wey say stakeholders had to step in during di 2023 governorship election when Otti dey run.
As e be, the Abia Patriots no dey take Kalu’s ginger lightly. Di group, through dem Secretary, Mazi Adindu Madumere, don express serious disappointment. Dem warn Kalu make e no distract Otti from him developmental work. Na wetin we go gain if we dey fight instead of gree for progress?
Abia Patriots don dey highlight Kalu’s political waka-we-have-been-here stance. Dem talk say him start to support Tinubu after e don oppose di presidential bid for 2023. One kind jibe wey dem drop be: “We’re amazed at Senator Kalu’s bootlicking politics, given his public rejection of APC’s presidential candidate in 2023, when he deliberately voided his vote. So, wetin don change now?”
Omo, Kalu don really carry responsibility for granted o! Di group dey call him out, say dem dey shocked and disappointed by his recent comments wey fit scatter Otti’s efforts to develop Abia. Dem urge APC big boys to no turn Abia to war front while other states dey hustle for socio-economic development.
Abia Patriots even go further, dem advise Kalu make e focus on him legislative work. Abeg, no be time to dey heat di political space wey go lead to wahala. “As a former two-term governor, Kalu suppose carry Abia’s development for head like true statesman, no as opportunist wey dey look for chance to shine.”
Di people of Abia don tire for all dis unnecessary jargons and political fights. Wetin dem dey want? Simple! Peace, progress, and development. Di time to support Governor Otti and im team na now, my people. Na we go benefit from am.”
