Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has described as falsehood the speculation that he was coming to Enugu to rejoin the PDP, whereas he did that in January 2012, when the then party’s chairman Alhaji Bamanga Tukur told Nigerians that Kalu is one of their own. According to a source close to him, Kalu said:
“I’m a member of the PDP and I think President Jonathan is coming to Enugu to receive new members. As you may be aware, am not new in the party. I love our party and wish us well at Enugu.”
He averred that even though he may be coming for the political rally, he’s not coming to be inducted as a new member but as a faithful party member to cheer up the party. He said that his happiness is hinged on the fact that history will absorb him as a foundational member of the party, not as the new crop of PDP members in Abia masquerading as leaders of the party whose thought is only to pull him down.
