Item Intellectuals Front, a socio-political group in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, has thanked Abia North senatorial district voters for aligning with the senator-elect, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and other members of the All Progressives Congress.
In a statement by the Coordinator, Mr. Chidiebere Okoh, the group said Kalu’s victory is the best thing to the entire Igbo nation. He said Kalu’s records stand tall, which prompted Abia North voters to support him in the February 23, poll.
Okoh asked Senator Mao Ohuabanwa to support Kalu since election had been won and lost.
Also speaking, Noble Agbaeze, secretary of the group, said the complaint by members of the People’s Democratic Party over Abia North election result is laughable.
He said Kalu won the election fair and square, which made the Independent National Electoral Commission to declare him winner with over 31, 000 votes.
Agbaeze called on Abia North indigenes to disregard claims from detractors as they were “maliciously put up by some mischief makers who want to gain relevance.”
