Senator Orji Uzor Kalu fired up APC faithfuls, demanding free and fair 2027 elections monitored by UN and EU observers while predicting All Progressives Congress triumph in Abia, crushing Labour Party's Alex Otti re-election bid. The Abia North powerhouse slammed Otti's "gutter politics," withdrawing prior support post-2023 to rally grassroots for Tinubu re-run and APC gov house takeover, insisting ideas over noise seal deals at polls. Otti hit back, dismissing threats as "ludicrous," boasting LP sweeps in Kalu's Bende backyard last cycle and vowing to back senatorial foe unseating the ex-gov turned hawk.
Kalu's blitz taps South-East APC push sans governor reliance, countering Otti's transformation tales with farmland road flexes and Obasanjo action-gov nods from his tenure. Abia feud boils amid 2027 chess – Kalu dares deliver Tinubu where foes flopped, Otti eyes LP dynasty on performance waves. Streets split: APC swells, LP hardens, X roars #AbiaDecides2027. Naija watches unity plays vs. zoning wars. Kalu swings, Otti stands. Polls heat up.
