From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied news making the rounds that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Benjamin Kalu endorsed Governor Alex Otti for a second term in office.
A statement signed by the state publicity secretary of APC, Uche Aguoru described the news as misleading, malicious, and deceptive propaganda being circulated by Governor Otti’s media team.
The statement added that as a faithful and loyal party man who is fully committed to the mission of ensuring the APC wins all elective positions in Abia State and takes over Government House, Umuahia, come May 29, 2027, there was no way Kalu would endorse Otti for second term.
The statement read in part, “The attention of the APC in Abia State has been drawn to a misleading, malicious, and deceptive propaganda being circulated across various media platforms by Governor Alex Otti’s media team, falsely claiming that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu has endorsed Governor Alex Otti for a second term in office.
“Ordinarily, Abians are already aware that the Otti administration is built on propaganda, media manipulation, and misinformation.
