\u200eThe Coalition of South-East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) says the loyalty of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North Senatorial District, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is \u201cunquestionable.\u201d
\n\u200e
\n\u200eIn a statement by Goodluck Ibem, President General of COSEYL and Okey Nwaoru, the group\u2019s publicity secretary, the youth group said it was compelled to respond to recent criticisms questioning Senator Kalu\u2019s commitment to the ruling party and the President.
\n\u200e
\n\u200e\u201cSenator Orji Uzor Kalu remains one of the most loyal and dedicated party men in the South East geopolitical zone,\u201d COSEYL said, adding that his commitment to the APC and President Tinubu\u2019s progressive agenda had never been in doubt.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eCOSEYL stated that Senator Kalu\u2019s performance in office had earned him \u201cmassive followership and respect\u201d in Abia North and beyond, insisting that claims to the contrary were unfounded.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eAccording to the group, the people of Abia North and the wider South East appreciate Senator Kalu\u2019s role in promoting the APC\u2019s vision and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eThe coalition noted that Abians were not ungrateful people and would continue to support leaders who delivered tangible development.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eCOSEYL also recalled a 2020 meeting involving Senator Kalu, Senator Victor Umeh and Abia State Governor Dr Alex Otti, which it said further underscored Senator Kalu\u2019s dedication to the APC.
\n\u200e
\n\u200eAccording to COSEYL, Dr Otti was quoted at the meeting as saying: \u201cIn 2018, it was about 10pm when Senator Orji Uzor Kalu showed up at my house in Lagos. I was not expecting him. He said the reason for his visit was to ask me to join the APC. He told me he would only support me if I contested the 2019 election under the platform of the APC because he wanted to put a stop to what he described as the nonsense going on in the state.\u201d
\n\u200e
\n\u200eThe group said the statement confirmed that Senator Kalu \u201cworks tirelessly for the growth and success of the APC\u201d and is \u201cnot an eye-service party man but a committed and loyal member of the party.\u201d
\n\u200e
\n\u200eCOSEYL tasked stakeholders to refrain from what it branded divisive narratives aimed at undermining Senator Kalu and President Tinubu.
