Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State has told Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to \u201cstop misleading the public with fake defections\u201d.<\/p>\n

PDP accused the former Abia Governor of massaging \u201chis dwindled ego\u201d before the presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the national level.<\/p>\n

Publicity Secretary, Fabian Nwankwo, lambasted Kalu in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n

The spokesman reacted to the defection of some PDP members to the APC at the Senate Chief Whip\u2019s private residence in Igbere.<\/p>\n

Nwankwo said the building cannot contain more than 50 people at a time.<\/p>\n

He mocked Orji over his hosting of \u201cthousands of PDP members\u201d, saying it was deceitful and mischievous.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe challenge Orji Uzor Kalu to make available pictures of the \u2018thousands\u2019 of PDP members he purported to have defected to APC in his residence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pictures being circulated in Abia by his cronies do not make up to twenty people despite the fact that the faces in the pictures are also well known APC members,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He warned the presidency not to allow itself to be hoodwinked by the lawmaker \u201cwho is so desperate to please it by hook or crook just to shore up his already battered image\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nwankwo advised Abians to ignore the \u201ccharade of Kalu and continue to support Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and PDP in their giant strides in the overall development of Abia\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
