Ume Kalu’s Clarion Call To Abians 

By Odo Ijere, Okpotemba

I want to, in the interests and for the sake of all Abians both at home and in the diaspora, both the present and future generations, align with the profound statements and calls for positive action made by Chief Ume Kalu (SAN).

Ume Kalu has spoken the words of wisdom as a true Ohafia son and thoroughbred and in the manner to sound a wake-up call for all Abians to smell the coffee and vote on Saturday to change our present sorry situation. 

Our votes on Saturday will be used to reverse our over 20 years of democratic mistake in the hands of one political party, the PDP. 

Like Ume Kalu clearly stated, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu lacks the moral suasion to anoint any man to succeed him after ending his eight woeful years as the worst governor ever to govern any state in Nigeria. If it’s coming from Ume Kalu who worked closely with Ikpeazu, Theodore Orji and PDP in Abia State for ten years, then there’s nothing to fault in the statements. 

It is not about Ukwa la Ngwa power brokerage, nor Old Aba or Old Bende power supremacy struggles but to put our dear state on the part of development like our peers round about us. 

We are all going out on Saturday to vote for the only candidate and party that is capable of changing Abia State for good and give us a new beginning.  

We are all going out on Saturday to vote for Alex Oti and Labour Party candidates to end the more than twenty years of PDP insensitivity, rascality, irresponsibility, chicanery, usury, thievery, cluelessness, clannishness and man’s inhumanity against his fellow man. 

Alex Oti and Labour Party have all that it takes to restore our dignity as Abians and give us a sense of pride and belonging. 

If our votes truly count on Saturday as expected, our new dawn will be celebrated with Alex Oti and Labour Party. 

These statements are made for and on behalf of the following pro groups and political associates: Abia Infrastructure Mandate, Abia People’s Forum, Abia North Consensus Project, Arohafia Roundtable, Ogbiti Ukwupolitics, Ohafia Summit, Ibeku Ikwu Asaa, Political Worthy Movement For Democracy, Arise Nigerians and Reclaim Your Mandate, Abia Technocrats, Peter Obi Special Squad, The Big Tent Obidatti Movement, On Obidatti Presidency We Stand, Like Minds For Peter Obi, Ukwa la Ngwa Mandate, Ngwa People’s Assembly and many more.
