A former director of mobilization for the Obidient Movement, Morris Monye, has alleged that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, is placing undue confidence in the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 Abia State governorship election.
Monye made the claim on Friday via his X handle while reacting to reports suggesting that Kalu is preparing to contest the governorship seat currently held by Governor Alex Otti.
According to him, Kalu appears to be banking on the perceived electoral strength of the APC, a strategy he argued would ultimately fail.
Monye further described Otti as the most popular politician in the South-East, insisting that any attempt to unseat him through such means would be unsuccessful.
“I think Ben Kalu trusts the APC rigging machine so much that he wants to cash in on it,” he wrote.
“Otti is the most popular politician in the South-East. The machine will fail Kalu.”
