The Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) today reiterated that the Deputy Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, remains the duly recognised and undisputed leader of the APC in the state.
The party said that any individual or group parading themselves as leaders of the party in the state does so at their own risk.
It added that 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.
In a statement issued by Uche Aguoru, Publicity Secretary of the party for members of the State Working Committee in the state, the party said that “Kalu remains the rallying point of our party and the undisputed leader of the party, and we hereby pass a resounding vote of confidence in his leadership, capacity, and commitment to lead the APC to victory at all levels in the 2027 general elections.”
The party further thanked President Bola Tinubu for his overwhelming show of support during the Abia APC Congress, which produced the current formidable leadership of our party in the state.
The statement further reads, “We also deeply appreciate the National Chairman of our great party, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, for his commitment, leadership, and close attention in ensuring that the Abia APC Congress was conducted peacefully and successfully.”
Furthermore, Aguoru thanked all APC leaders for their sacrifices, roles and contributions in making sure that the party emerged united and stronger.
“We wish to reaffirm unequivocally and in line with the collective decision of party stakeholders and members across the 17 Local Government Areas that the Deputy Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Benjamin Okezie Kalu, remains the duly recognised and undisputed leader of the APC in Abia State.”
