Abia State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the fake posters of former governor of Abia State with the inscription “Vote Orji Kalu for President in 2019” being pasted in Lagos, Abuja, Umuahia and other cities was the handiwork of political jobbers.
Condemning the uncivilised act, Abia State Chairman of the APC, Hon.Emma Nwankpa stressed that the perpetrators of the act were members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State, who were envious of massive support the APC had galvanised at the grassroots.
He, however, expressed confidence in the President Muhammadu Buhari- led federal government that Ndigbo would benefit immensely if the entire five states in the South East were governed by the APC.
While lambasting the PDP-led Abia state government for poor state of infrastructure in the State, Nwankpa urged the masses not to sell their votes come 2019.
Speaking with journalists after the grand finale of the APC governorship campaign in Awka, the APC party chair urged Ndi Anambra to come out en masse to vote for the APC candidate, Dr. Tony Nwoye in the November 18 governorship election.
He said: “Since the triumphant entry of our leader, Dr. Orji Kalu into the fold of the APC, the PDP and their cohorts have been jittery and unsettled. “The APC is waxing stronger on a daily basis in Abia State. We know the antics of the PDP and one of such is the fake presidential campaign posters of Dr. Orji Kalu being circulated in different parts of the country.
“There is no development in Abia State and as such, the only alternative for Abians is to vote for APC in 2019 in order to rescue the state from a failed government.”
