The Abia State chapter of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has declared the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, as the leader and rallying point of the party in the state.
This followed different statements issued by Abia North senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, and Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, in which they separately thanked President Bola Tinubu for making them the ‘leader’ of Abia APC.
In a statement issued on Monday by Uche Aguoru, the Publicity Secretary of Abia APC, the party said that Benjamin Kalu remained the “undisputed leader” of APC in the state.
Aguoru who thanked President Bola Tinubu and the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, for supporting the party’s congress in Abia, warned that any other group or leaders trying to bring division in the state would be resisted
“Any individual or group parading themselves as leaders of the party in the state does so at their own risk.
“The leadership of the APC in Abia will firmly resist any attempt no matter how highly placed to sow seeds of division, create parallel structures, or undermine the unity and cohesion of our party,” Aguoru warned.
