A former governor of Abia State,
Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has reacted to the emergence of former governor of Edo
State, Adams Oshiomole as the National Chairman of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, describing it as good for the party and Nigeria’s democracy.
Kalu stressed that Oshiomole’s
antecedents in labour unionism would continue to speak volumes for him.
Kalu, a chieftain of the ruling
party, called on party stakeholders to rally support for the Oshiomhole in his
vision to take the party to greater heights ahead of the 2019 general election.
In a statement signed by his
Special Adviser, Kunle Oyewumi, Kalu said, “The emergence of Comrade Adams
Oshiomole, former governor of Edo State and former president of the Nigeria
Labour Congress, as consensus candidate and subsequently, as national chairman
of the APC, is a right step in the right direction.
“Over the years, Comrade
Oshiomole had demonstrated intellectual capacity and political dexterity in
different national assignments.
“The new national chairman will,
no doubt, reposition the party for greater success. The future of the party is
brighter under this new leadership.”
He appreciated the efforts of the
former national chairman, Chief John Odige-Oyegun, in stabilising the party,
and called on the new helmsman to run an all inclusive administration, even as
he noted that the APC remains one big family.
The former governor also hailed
other newly-elected national officials, saying “without doubt, with the new
leadership, APC will come out victorious in the forthcoming polls.”
