Our business in APC is to think and work about the welfare of Nigerians, of Abians, of the imolites, of Enugu people, of Ebonyi people, of Anambra people and of all Nigerians that’s our job.
Speaking further, Kalu added, “Today is a remarkable day and I want to welcome you to this great party, the party is a party for all Nigerians and we believe that this party will make all of us proud.

“All the wards in Aba North Local Government are all represented here, before 25th of this month; the real Exodus will be seen as over 2,500 PDP faithful will move in to join APC with us.
We are resolute to return Aba North to APC. At least our efforts were felt during the last sham called local government election in Aba North. Today, we want to officially be accepted into APC to reunite with the father of politics in Abia State.
