An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Orji Kalu has
debunked reports that he was appointed as Director-General of Ahmad Lawan’s
Campaign Organization.
The Senate President, Lawan is one of the frontline
presidential aspirant of the ruling party.
Reports emerged on Thursday that the Chief Whip of the
Senate and other key stakeholders were appointed to head his campaign
organization.
But Kalu, in a statement he personally signed and made
available to newsmen on Thursday night, denied the report, saying the list of
the campaign team currently making the rounds was not authorized.
He urged the general public to disregard the reports,
stressing that if Lawan clinches the APC presidential ticket next week, a
committee would be inaugurated to compile the team.
He said, “My attention has been drawn to a list of committee
Chairmen of Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organization in which I was also mentioned as
the Director General.
“The list should be disregarded as no authorization was
given to the effect of its publication.
“As the Chairman of the meeting held at my instance, it is
important to notify the general public that we are not yet in the Campaign
proper. A committee will be inaugurated to that effect once our most preferred
candidate, Senator Ahmad Lawan emerges as the presidential candidate of All
Progressives Congress (APC).
“I am also running for election in my senatorial district
and would rather recommend a sitting Governor who is not running for an
election to chair the campaign team at the right time .
“Several private visitors who were not even part of the
meeting were also reported to have been in attendance. Senator Betty Apiafi,
just as Senator Uche Ekwunife who visited on a different bipartisan matter
concerning the Senate was also mentioned.
“It is mischief to have included these names as part of
Ahmad Lawan Campaign Organization”.
