Senator-elect for Abia North, Orji Kalu, has denied nominating his younger brother, Mascot Kalu, and cousin, Madukwe Ukaegbu, for ministerial appointments.
In a statement on Monday from his media office, Kalu said the report was the work of mischief makers who are unhappy with the ruling party’s ‘growing popularity’ in Abia State.
The statement said: “We condemn the news that Dr. Orji Kalu has nominated his brother Mascot Kalu and cousin Madukwe Ukaegbu for ministerial appointment.
“The fake news is another attempt by political jobbers to score cheap political points. We advise the management of the online platform which started the spread to apologise within seven days otherwise face the wrath of the law.”
Kalu also urged APC members to be wary of paid agents of the opposition who devise means of unsettling the party.
