A former Chief of Staff in Abia State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Mascot Kalu, has lauded members of the party in the state for their peaceful conduct during last Saturday’s Local Government Congress.
Kalu acknowledged the role played by members of the APC Congress Committee, adding that the party remains a united family.
Speaking against the backdrop of a claim that a parallel congress was held in Abia State, Kalu, who is currently in Gambia, urged rumour peddlers and political jobbers to desist from spreading falsehood for the sake of Nigeria’s growing democracy.
While maintaining that Abia State APC has no factions, the banker-cum politician urged the party hierarchy to sustain the ideals of the party anchored on internal democracy.
Kalu said: “The level of decorum exhibited by party leaders, chieftains and members before, during and after the local government Congress is commendable.
“The exercise was hitch free, peaceful and successful.
“We don’t have factions in Abia APC.
“APC is united, indivisible and strong in Abia State.
“We will continue to embrace peace and unity in all party activities.”
Kalu expressed confidence that the APC will come out victorious in the 2019 general elections, pointing out that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will take Nigeria to enviable heights.
Kalu, while appealing to politicians not to heat the polity, cautioned APC members in Abia State to be wary of chieftains of the ruling party in the state who are desperate to cause disaffection among them.
