Addressing the people and APC stalwarts who gathered at both communities, clad with branded T-shirts and other uniforms, Kalu said his tour was not a campaign as INEC has not given approval for campaigns to begin, but to interact with his people as his custom is, to feel their pulse and pains and have them relate with him personally.
