24 hours to participating in the Senatorial Election, Orji Kalu, Senate Chief Whip, has been suspended by his Party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Kalu, still trying to save his head from his position on Wednesday that the Igbo are not ready yet to occupy the office of Nigeria’s President, was suspended by the Abia State Chapter of the Party for alleged anti-party activities and other sundry issues.

In a letter dated February 21, 2023, the Party said the former two-time Governor of the State was suspended for “acts of disobedience and gross anti-party activities.” The suspension, according to the letter, takes immediate effect.

Signed by the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, Paul Nwabuisi, State Secretary,  Chidi Avajah, and State Chairman, Kingsley Ononogbu, the letter said Kalu “has remained unrepentant and without remorse despite several warnings.”

The Party  explained that Kalu was suspended after “thorough investigations and recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee set up by the Igbere Ward A in Bende Local Government of Abia State.”

The suspension, the APC said, “is in consonance with Article 21B(i-v) of the APC Constitution, which he violated.”

One of the accusations against Kalu is that he is working against the APC Governorship Candidate, Ikechi Emenike.

Kalu is said to be working for the Action Peoples Party (APP). His younger brother, Mascot Kalu, is the Governorship Candidate of the APP. Kalu is not denying this accusation.

In an interview on Tuesday, Kalu confirmed his support for his younger brother, Mascot, and emphasized his fitness to govern the State.

He insisted that the APC Governorship candidate never informed him formally  og his  Governorship ambition. He also said that  Emenike has, for years, been abusing him and bearing grudges against him, therefore, his reluctance to work for the APC Candidate.

But dismissing Kalu’s claims, the Abia APC, described him as “a drowning political desperado, working hard to destroy the party for his selfish interests.”
