Former Abia state governor, Dr. Orji Kalu who has been involved in corruption charges for long period of time has defected to the ruling All progressive congress (APC).
Mr. Kalu reveals that he made the decision due to intense pressure by his close associates to join APC.
Mr. Kalu was received by the National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie Oyegun at the APC headquaters in Abuja.
“It is with a heavy heart, full of precious memories, profound appreciation and good will that I write to inform you of my decision to quit my membership of the PPA.“As a founding member of the PPA, in 2006 and a former chairman of the BoT, I have been
fortunate to have witnessed first hand, the growth of a party that grew out of the yearning of a people to challenge their intuition and their struggle to determine who governs them and how they should be governed."
He continued “I gave to the PPA and that struggle the better part of my political life and the time has come for me to say
thank you for the opportunity to have served a worthy cause, and to have been your flag bearer as candidate for the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I must move on now and as Tennyson reminds us, Though much has been taken, much still abides and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.
And so, today, I officially resign my membership. Thank you and may God continue to guide the affairs of the PPA under your reign as national chairman.’’ Mr Kalu said.
