Ex-Gov Orji Kalu dares PDP, campaigns for APC’s Fayemi, Aregbesola.

Despite his controversial membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, a former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu has openly thrown his weight behind the re-election of two All Progressives Congress, APC, governors.
Within one week, Mr. Kalu visited Governors Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State and Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State during which he asked the indigenes of the states to return the governors because of their excellent performances.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has fixed the Ekiti State governorship election for June 21 and that of Osun State for August 9.
Both governors have been adopted as candidates of the APC in both states at separate events Saturday.
Mr. Kalu’s endorsement of Mr. Aregbesola appeared particularly shocking as he did so the same day (April 5) the PDP primary election was holding in Osun State.
A former deputy governor of the state, Iyiola Omisore, emerged the governorship candidate of the PDP, beating Olasunkanmi Akinlabi, a former senator and Oluwole Oke, a former member
of the House of Representatives in the contest.
While attending the 15th edition of the Walk of Love in Ipetumodu, Osun State, Mr. Kalu said though he was a friend to both Messrs Aregbesola and Omisore, there was no need to replace the governor because he had worked for the people of the state.
