Chief Mascot Uzor Kalu, the Action People’s Party, APP, governorship candidate in Abia State and the younger brother of former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, has consulted with the first runners up of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship primaries, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe.

The visit is coming barely 24 hours after the United Nations Mayor of Peace and first congratulated and pledged support for the PDP flag bearer, Prof. Uche Ikonne.

Kalu’s brother who visited Igbokwe in his Umuawa Alocha country home said he came to share issues of common concern.

The consultation according to him, was on how to forge a common front and move the state forward among other issues.

” Mayor Igbokwe, as a young successful business man and APP share a common interest in youth empowerment and it will be good to have him as a partner in progress”, Kalu said.

On the chances of his party winning elections in the state, Chief Kalu said people view the APP as a new party, but are quick to forget that the party is made up of people.

He argued that he remained the most experienced among all those contesting for the Abia governorship race having been in Government before.

Kalu said he was more prepared to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Abia if elected.

On his relationship with his brother, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, since his defection from the All Progressive Congress (APC), he said their relationship was cordial.

He stated that his brother was aware of the ill treatment meted out to him by his former party.

Mascot said that he consulted the Senate Chief Whip before the move to his present party.
