Kalu Reveals Tinubu’s ‘Marching Orders’ To Lead APC In Abia

Former Abia State governor and senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu directed him to take charge of coordinating the activities of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State.

Kalu, in a statement, expressed appreciation to the President for what he described as a show of confidence, noting that the directive was clear and strategic ahead of future political contests.

“I sincerely thank His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the confidence reposed in me and the marching order to coordinate activities in Abia State in respect of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC),” he said.

The senator said he would work with key stakeholders across the state to reposition the party and strengthen its chances in upcoming elections.

“As the most senior governor in the state, I am committed to working closely with all stakeholders, in line with the President’s directive, to ensure that the APC in Abia produces candidates who are widely acceptable, united in purpose, and well-positioned to secure victory,” Kalu stated.

He added that the effort would not only focus on electoral success but also align with broader national interests.

Kalu noted that the move is part of a wider plan to boost the party’s presence in Abia and support the President’s re-election bid, while advancing development in the state.

The development signals a renewed push by the APC to consolidate its structure in Abia, a state where the party has continued to seek stronger political footing.
