The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has said that the next governor of Abia State will be a member of the APC.
Kalu made the statement during a recent press briefing on Spin FM. He affirmed that Alex Oti will be the last Labour Party governor of Abia State.
The reason, according to him, is that President Tinubu has made remarkable achievements in Abia State, hence the need for APC to takeover in the state.
“This will be the last time that a Labour governor will govern Abia State. I say it without mincing words. The next governor of Abia State will be APC governor.
“I have told him publicly and privately that the APC governor will be next in Abia State. How it will happen, I don’t know, but it will happen.
“I am confident because my government is working hard, the President is working hard, and Abia will repay the president.
“The president that has given you the South East Development Commission will be repaid.
“A president that is appointing Abians into administration. A president who is attracting the dividends of democracy will be repaid.
“We are not ungrateful people. Monkey will not work, and baboon chop. APC will not help the state to be strong, and Labour will take the credit.
“APC will determine who will become the next governor of Abia State. I don’t care about who the person is. However, one thing I know is that the platform, APC, will be the next governor of Abia state”, he said.
