The Senatorial Candidate of All Progressive Congress for Abia North, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has won an opinion poll conducted by a civil society organisation, “Selfless Project” in Isiukwuato, Ummuneochi, Bende, Arochukwu and Ohafia local government areas of Abia State, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV gathered that the former governor had the highest score among other candidates vying for the same the position.
According to information gathered from its research, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Dr. Orji Kalu had the highest score of 55% followed by the candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief David Onuoha, who scored 25% and the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was ranked third with a mark of 20%.
Disclosing the criteria used in arriving at the figures, the Coordinator of the research group, Mr. Daniel Agwu, stressed that data were sourced through interviews, questionnaire and other channels.
He said, ” the APC candidate’s general acceptability across Abia North senatorial zone is remarkable. Most of the people could not hide their love for Kalu as they recalled his achievements as governor including free education, free medical scheme and sports development (victory of Enyimba FC at CAF Champions League).
“Considering the fact that the former governor, who is a member of the ruling party at the federal, has access to federal machinery and coupled with his political followership at the grassroots, Kalu has bright chances to win the election.
“The APGA candidate has massive support in his homestead, Abariba but that alone cannot give him victory.
” Ohuabunwa is not popular because he has failed to deliver dividends of democracy to his constituents and coupled with the unpopular policies of the PDP led Abia state government, Abians are wary of PDP candidates across the state”.
While assuring election observers and other stakeholders of their co-operation in ensuring a credible poll in Abia state, the coordinator urged the electorate to vote for candidates with pedigree and good antecedents for the sake of democracy.
Igbere TV reports that Kalu has campaigning in different wards in Abia North Senatorial District.
