Abia Govt Accused of ₦100 Billion Smear Campaign Against Orji Uzor Kalu

The Igbo Mandate Movement Group has accused the Abia State Government of orchestrating a ₦100 billion smear campaign to hinder the re-election of Orji Uzor Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. The group claims the campaign involves social media attacks, media sponsorships, lobbying of traditional rulers, and inciting violence against Kalu.

They question the rationale behind such expenditure and call for intervention to prevent the alleged plot. The accusations aim to undermine Kalu's political standing beyond personal interests, according to the group.
