Mascot Uzor Kalu Withdraws from Abia APC Governorship Race

Mascot Uzor Kalu has officially withdrawn from the Abia APC governorship race in preparation for the 2027 general elections. This decision was announced in a statement issued on Thursday and is based on principles of fairness and equity.

Kalu consulted with family members, political associates, and party stakeholders across the state, determining that his withdrawal was necessary to review the current political situation in Abia State and maintain unity within the APC.
