CHIEF Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu has urged members of the party in the State to stop employing falsehood to cause division within the party.
He also said he had not anointed candidate in the upcoming party congresses; as such, members should feel free to vote for candidates of their choice.
Kalu was quoted to have said this in Umuahia, yesterday, while addressing party stakeholders in the state.
Kalu is the state APC Leader and Chairman of the APC Caucus, in the National Assembly.
In a statement issued in Umuahia, Kalu said, “My candidate is the candidate everyone has chosen. I do not have a personal candidate.
“I want every member to understand the importance of strict democratic approach in the Congress. We can’t have two ward chairmen or secretaries but one. We wish everybody well in their endeavors to lead our party in different capacities starting from the ward level to the state level.”
While commending party leaders at various levels in the state, the former Abia State Governor attributed the strength of the party to the support, love and tolerance among its members.
He stressed the need for members to uphold these virtues in order to succeed in the quest to make Abia State an APC state on or before 2023.
He used the occasion to appeal to party members in the state to imbibe the spirit of love, tolerance and sacrifice, and strive for unity as the party prepares for the 2023 elections.
