PDP Group Endorses Kalu Idika, Calls For Party Cohesion

A group Abia Coalition Initiative Movement (ACIM), has called for unity and cohesion in the Abia State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to help the party consolidate and retain the state in 2023 general elections.

This was contained in a statement issued by the group’s chairman, Elder Samuel Agbaeze, who threw their weight behind the aspiration of one of the aspirants of the party in the 2023 governorship election, Chief Kalu Idika.

The group who disclosed that the endorsement of Idika became necessary as the party’s flag-bearer in the coming governorship election to give the party an edge ahead of the election.

The group declared that youths in the party, cutting across the 17 local government areas of the state, have unanimously endorsed the choice of Idika “We have done our homework and seen the incontrovertible leadership qualities in Chief Kalu Idika and we are confident to say that if given the PDP ticket, he will not let us down.

“Much as we admit that every member of the party is eligible to aspire to the position of their choice, we believe the party should put forward its best hand, someone that naturally endears the people to himself through dints of hard work, excellent track record and passion for uplifting the less-privileged people.

“The PDP is a responsible, focused and result oriented party. We have already endorsed the choice of Chief Kalu Idika as our governorship candidate and the great people of Abia State are also solidly behind us.

“Today, however, the people have resolved to see their dream come true by voting in Idika as governor. We must not allow desperate politicians to scuttle the chances of our great party in 2023,” the group said.

The group, therefore, enjoined “all PDP members to come together as one big family, with a view to retaining power in 203.”

The ACIM also urged the state executive committee to ensure a level-playing ground in the emergence of a governorship candidate for the party.
