Abia State, Abia North, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics

🎯✨ #REBUTTAL: Setting the Record Straight on the Purported “Abia North Delegation” Visit. The attention of concerned stakeholders and Abia North APC members has been drawn to a misleading publication claiming that a so-called delegation of Abia North APC paid a courtesy visit to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.
