Kalu made the allegation in a statement his Special Adviser, Kunle Oyewumi issued to distance him from campaign posters pasted along Airport Road, Abuja, with the inscription: Vote Orji Kalu for President on the platform of the APC.
The statement read, “After a two-week business trip to China, to my surprise on my way from Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja this morning, I sighted the malicious posters in my name with the caption: ‘Kalu for President’.
“It is definitely the handiwork of some politicians who are either afraid of my political capacity or enemies of the present administration as I have continually maintained my support for Mr. President.
“The action of these jobless politicians is a ploy to damage the robust relationship I have with President Buhari and the top hierarchy of the APC. Such political blackmail is not only disheartening, but unhealthy for Nigeria’s growing democracy.
“While I call on the unsuspecting public, especially members of the APC, to disregard the vicious posters, I am also reaffirming my unflinching and unaltered support for Mr. President.
“I will contest in 2019 by the grace of God, but definitely not for President.”
