Don’t bother rejoining PDP, PPA tells Kalu

• We want you in our fold

The National Chairman of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), Chief Sam Nkire, has chided Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, and other politicians from the state for leaving everything they were doing to travel to Abuja to protest the rumoured return of a former Governor of the state, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement yesterday, Nkire said that the PPA would always welcome Kalu to its holds any day.

The PPA chairman said the opposition to Kalu’s return to the PDP, spearheaded by Governor Orji, and the desire of his party to have the former governor in its fold, were a clear case of “one man’s meat being another man’s poison.”

He said although the news that Kalu wants to return to PDP was a rumour he does not believe, the former governor should not bother himself trying to rejoin a political party that does not value his worth or wants him back, even though, according to him, nobody has the right to prevent him from joining any party of his choice.

According to him, it was unusual for a party to adopt a policy, whereby intending members are rejected, “except they were under-aged or people of unsound mind,” adding that even ex-convicts are not prevented from joining political parties, provided they can obey the by-laws. The PPA chairman expressed surprise that Governor Orji and other top politicians in Abia State left what they were doing to embark on a trip to Abuja to protest Kalu’s return to PDP.

“I am surprised by the number and calibre of the delegation that spent time and money to go and make a request, which should not succeed under normal circumstances,” he said. He seized the opportunity to appeal to members of PPA across the country to pursue the ongoing membership drive with zeal and vigour. It will be recalled that the reconciliatory efforts of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) suffered a setback on Wednesday, as chieftains of the party stormed the party’s national secretariat in Abuja to protest the rumoured return of Kalu.

Led by the Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, the PDP chieftains, including Colonel Austin Akubundu, Senators Nkechi Nwogu and Eyinnaya Abaribe and former National Chairman of the party, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, the protesters told the party’s national leadership to align itself with their feeling of the party’s chieftains. National Vice Chairman, South East of the PDP, Colonel Akubundu, who read ‘the position paper of the Abia stakeholders on the re-admission of Chief Orji Uzor Kalu to the party,’ said that the return of the former governor would undermine the peaceful co-existence and camaraderie, existing among party stalwarts in the state.

Governor Orji, who made his remarks after the presentations by Colonel Akubundu, said: “My people have spoken and I don’t need to repeat what they have said. Our strength has been that we fought a common enemy. If we have to retain that strength, we have to keep the common enemy at bay. There is no need for reconciliation in Abia; we are at peace with ourselves. We don’t want any distraction in Abia, as it will be a disservice to our people.”

Meanwhile, in an earlier statement on the possibility of his returning to the party, Kalu had said that it was not on his agenda. He said his present pre-occupation with the Njiko Ndigbo pressure group would not even enable him to show bias towards any party for now. He said: “My concern now is for Igbo presidency in 2015.

Any party that would give Ndigbo the platform to get to the presidency in 2015 is the one I will align with.” Kalu said that if it took so many people from Abia State, many of whom, he noted, do not have followers, to go beg PDP to illegally fence him out in a democracy, then it was an indication of the fact that he is still the issue in Abia State politics.

    lOrji Uzor Kalu should respect himself and go and sit down. I thought he said he had retired from active politics? He is just engaging in political suicide.

    Theodor Orji is also such a character I don’t know how to describe. These are some of the nasty behaviours of Igbo political elites many people find upsetting and nauseating.

    They are all chasing shadows.

    The worst Governor Abia has got (T.A Orji), no vision, no mission, nothing good to offer, he left the bad roads in Abia to protest in Abuja employing tauts to maim drivers on the valley of death (roads) of Abia, siphoning the funds of the state for personal use. The ORJIS’ remains the problem of ABIA.

    Orji Kalu should be returned to prison. Sometimes I really wonder what is wrong with MOST Ibo people.This is a man who raped,tortured and stole everything that belongs to Abians in particular and Ibos in general yet some people are ready to line up behind him and glorify a thief. I guess the proverbial IBO MAN SENSE is at work here.
    ase you do not understand what WE mean when we mention Ibo Man Sense,it simply means; A man who FEELS he is more intelligent than everyone else and yet ends up with NOTHING.
    The Ibos being one of the so-called Big Three Tribes in Nigeria are the most cheated and backward out of the three but they are the loudest arrogant,uncouth and brash noise makers who end up renting Yoruba shops and houses for clearly exorbitant rates,who end up at the mallams knife to be slaughtered like rams,who are hunted,persecuted and haunted all over the world and mostly HATED even in their own land,Nigeria.What an intelligent group of idiots !!!.

      Go kill your family. Killer. You sound as foolish as your names. Kalu is on the side ofthe Ibos and no stopping. All this Jonathan men will not have a place in Ibo land soon. You will see how intelligent people operates. This time now way. All this foolish protect we are too sure from our political report is an arrangnment of Jonathan to divid they Ibos and confuse them but sorry we know better.

      T. A should go kill himself because he can not stop a moving train. We are united on this and nothing can stop us. This fools that want to Abuja. We will give openly to the world there score cards soon for everybody to see. We are doing something and I know the want to hear us so that the can go re plan but we are wiser this time. No matter what the do. We will start speaking by 014. Wait Nd see. Soon people will be on the run!

    TA Orji is a tout, how could he descend so low of campaigning against the hands that fed him? Greed is his problem and seeking for relevance when he knows that, he can never be relevant to this country after this his selfish administration.

    OUK remain a force in Abia politics.The actions of these so called PDP men and women that went to Abuja for protest is quite ridiculous.They should remember that Dr Kalu was among the founding father of the party both at the state and federal level.So, he deserve to be respected.None of these so called Abia PDP protesters are better than him in any way.They should be quiet and let Kalu alone.He has the right to join any party of his choice.Kalu did not leave the PDP on his own it was OBJ who felt he was a threat to his 3rd term evil ambition,so he was de-listed along side Atiku Abubakar.He has the right to go back to the house he built.Why are they afraid.

    I don’t just know what to say but I see a people who are insincere, they claim they are fighting our course but I am yet to see the prove. I am in Benin as a student but based in Aba and I hear Abia govt advertising projects on Radio Nigeria, how I wish it is all true. If T A Orji fails he will become like Lucky of Edo who has nothing to be remembered for, though I disliked the Kalu’s family but we will forever remember him for transforming Enyimba F C. T A Orji should do one thing for the Abians, he should repair Aba roads to standard. As for Abuja protest it shows cowardice and shows that their is no true democracy in Abia PDP bcs if there is Kalu will still struggle to stand again bcs of his family record in Abia. I love Anambra state bcs they have so many persons that can run for governoship without begging for funds even though they have their own problem. Abia need a man of personal record who can wrestle power from the people currently in charge. God bless Abia, and the Igbos at large and Nigerians

    If you have done well when you are governor it will not be like this to you because of your greed for money. Look at Abia state and foolish Orji you impose for the good people of Abia state. God will never forgive you. You want to become president of Nigeria not in this world. Look for another thing. Governor for eight good years only to make money for yourself. Selfish man.

    The Same forces that delisted OUK from PDP re at work again.The unfortunate thing Here is that this Time they are using his politics protegé in Abia State to attack him..This Guy woos certainly is a conspiracy from enemies of Ndi igbo to scuttle the Ambition of one igboman who is still standing straight with his Ambition when others re waiting for abuja contracts and presidency directive b4 deciding on issues concerning our interest.

    Pls for clarity, I love OUK personally bcs he is outspoken but I have problem with him on the way his family held Abians at ransom. I pray for him and always wish he comes back to prove to me that he is a potential Igbo leader. He must be sincere and learn to forgive his offenders. I just need sincerity from him. Many Nigerians don’t trust him anymore. I pray that he proves them wrong. If on the contrary he proves them right them I am on my own. As for T A Orji if he can fix Aba roads then he will become the Oshiomole of Abia. He still has three years to do so, but if he is after building a political structure then he has failed bcs he will end like the Lucky of Edo. since love is what we owe everyone I must confess that I love Orji (Kalu, Theodore). I rest my case

    PDP is a curse. T. A. Orji rode to perverted victory in the last election on the back of President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan. The Igbo names in his name carried Igbos away. Majority of Abians today rank Orji Uzor Kalu much higher than T. A. Orji in governance. Considering the hurdles OUK had to contend with under Obasanjo’s barrack presidency, Abians expected T.A. Orji to do better under Jonathan because Abians voted or he was rigged into office with the hope that a better federal relationship with Abia state would benefit Abia state, including money that would accrue from the sixty nine oil wells OUK fought for and got back to the state. All Abia politicians of PDP are crooks. They do not represent the people. They may dispute this by pointing to their achievement we can hold on to. The governor, senators, House of Reps members and those in the state assembly are a curse to the state. No amount of deceit ,this time, should keep Abia in PDP. There is no comparism between PDP and APGA governments in the south east. Abia must kick out PDP and join progressive in APGA. We must vote and make sure we guard our votes against PDP rigging machine.

    The True story is Governor Orji is a House boy of Jonathan, when Obj lose the war of his third term, he saw Kalu as a threat so they apply there weapon by promising T.A Orji return ticket even he is not Qualify to join PDP then. He mission, stop This Orji Kalu because he is a Threats to us and Britain, Stop Orji kalu by all means and loot fund without Question. T.A Orji is during the house boy work. Orji Kalu was a good Governor, he inherited Abia from Grass and Transform Abia State. He lifted Abia State and make Abia popular in Nigeria. His leadership focus many on the grass root, l saw many poor people became rich, when l say many, many and as many. T.A ORJI was among his the beneficiary. OBJ and Jonathan was afraid of kalu and they are using T.A orji as a front to attack him. T.A Orji IS A Thief and have loot Abians dry and he is greedy and he forget one day, his tenure will be over. EFCC don’t attack or question him because that is the agreement. Stop Kalu by all means and take whatever you like in Abia State. Coward T.A ORJI

    Those who hide under the cover of false names like (I WILL KILL AGAIN) are mainly half educated and claim to know all people while they can not come out to prove their worth.

    This so called I GO KILL AGAIN if you believe you are proud of your tribe why not make reference of your tribe achievement or worth in Nigeria
    by their names you will know them I GO KILL AGAIN you are a Hubbard. the Igbo’s you call names I challenge you are 100% better that you tribe, the Igbo tribe rank among the three known tribes but unfortunately your tribe is not mentioned the major tribe of this country is talked of a butterfly that thinks itself a bird.

    U GO KILL or what do you call yourself your type is the type of late Saro Wiwa who took the civil war as an opportunity to make friends with the Hausas and Yoruba’s and wad latter killed by the people who he believe are better friend to him than the Igbo’s

    I challenge you to let us know your tribe although for sure we know you are from Edo or Bayelsa

    In a political party where internal party democracy is upheld, their should be room for reconciliation with aggrieved members to fortify the party against loosing grip to opposition considering the fact that P.D.P is drowning. Gov Theodore Orji and his cohorts are just afraid of almighty O.U.K so that he will not wrestle the leadership of the party in Abia from them thereby determining who becomes Abia’s next governor. How intoxicating power can be…
