Former Governor of Abia state and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Orji Uzor Kalu has warned that any member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caught rigging the 2019 general elections in the state would be lynched. Kalu stated this on Thursday while addressing newsmen at his Igbere, Bende Council country home, of Abia State, shortly after hosting the executive committee members of the party in the 17 councils.
He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for effectively carrying out the ongoing continuous voters’ registration exercise, assuring that he would fulfill the 75% votes he promised President Buhari form the region.
“This meeting was to reassess the ongoing voters’ registration exercise. We met with the party leaders in the 17 Local Government Areas to brief us on how the exercise is going. We will take stock and report to the State executive committee of the party. We will meet again in two months for another review.
We are working hard and building the party to be very strong to win election in 2019. We are going to give to give PDP a run for their money in Abia. We will take over Abia. PDP rigging formula will end in 2019. If you rig you will be lynched. “You saw what happened in Anambra State, votes will count here.
All the result-writing formula of the PDP has ended in Abia State, it is dead on arrival. Votes will count this time. Anybody who tries to rig will be lynched because he is a criminal. Remember that I promised President Buhari 75% of the votes in the South East and we will do it.”
