Dr Orji Uzor Kalu of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) who was declared the winner of the Abia North senatorial district election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has been told that he cannot get away with a ‘stolen mandate’.
The challenge was made on Friday by the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia North Senatorial District during a solidarity visit to the incumbent Senator, Mao Ohuabunwa.
During the visit, the party members pledged their unflinching support in Ohuabunwa’s bid to recover his “stolen mandate”, with Abia North Zonal Chairman of PDP, Hon Matthew Ibe declaring that the PDP will stop at nothing until “the people’s mandate given to our candidate but forcefully stolen by APC is returned “.
Hon. Ibe also expressed shock that INEC issued certificate of return to Kalu.
