The group said there is a deliberate attempt by some persons to sponsor media attacks against Mr Kalu.
The National Coordinator of the group, Archie Isong, who denied the allegation in a statement on Friday, said there is a deliberate attempt by some persons to sponsor media attacks against the speakership aspirant.“If he were to have played Judas as alleged by his traducers, how is it that he is standing while others capitulated at the polls? We acknowledge that talk is cheap and parrots like to chatter to be noticed.
The coalition, in a statement on Friday, said those who sold out the APC in the South-east are also seeking to benefit from the party.Mr Isong, while speaking on Mr Kalu’s aspiration, said the Abia lawmaker is not in the speakership race because of his ethnicity but based on competence. “Hon. Kalu is not running on the basis of being Igbo, rather he is running because he is a prepared, ready-to-go nationalist who believes in the agenda of Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
“It is also on record that he was undeterred and campaigned vigorously for the APC and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as presidential candidate in Abia State. They say pictures do not lie and this is a fact as Hon. Kalu could be seen in several pictures and videos as one of the leaders that received the APC Presidential Candidate to Abia State, while some of the leaders who want to lead the 10th National Assembly publicly supported other political parties,” Mr Isong said.
