APC Senatorial Primary: Canada-Based Analyst Hails Orji Kalu’s Victory
*Says polling 96.7% clear sign ex-gov is loved by Abia North senatorial district
Olufemi Adegbulugbe, a political analyst from Alberta, Canada has revealed that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial ticket for Abia North Senatorial District with a commanding victory in the party’s recently concluded primaries.
He said Kalu polled 65,651 votes representing 96.7 per cent of the total votes cast across the constituency, in a result that political observers say reflects the former governor’s enduring grip on the political loyalties of his home district.
Adegbulugbe said the victory, which was recorded across 57 wards spanning the five local government areas of Arochukwu, Bende, Isuikwuato, Ohafia and Umunneochi, has drawn congratulatory messages from across the country, as commentators described the outcome as a tectonic plate victory that underscored the APC community’s recognition of experience, competence, capacity and continuity in their senator.
