Former governor of Abia State, OrjiUzor Kalu, on Monday expressed his desire to quit the race for the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Abia North Senatorial district.
The former governor in a letter to the PDP National Chairman, Adamu Muazu, dated November 24, 2014 said he was withdrawing from the race because the Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji, was forcing him out of the race
The governor, he said, frustrated his desire to seek the PDP senatorial ticket because he knows that the governor has concluded plans to foist his handpicked aspirants on members of the party in the state.
He noted that since the race had been skewed against him, and the fact that he was not allowed to participate in the processes that would lead to the emergence of theparty candidate, the party should refund the N5.5 million he paid to obtain the expression of interest and nomination form for the contest for the party ticket.
Kalu in the letter to the PDP National Chairman lamented that the Abia governor deliberately invited some party big wigs into the 2015 race at all levels and rubbished them knowing fully that he won’t allow them get any chance of contesting for the party ticket, let alone win.
