Mr Agu Ndukwe, the Director General of OUK Movement Abia chapter, made the disclosure in a statement he signed and made available to newsmen on Saturday in Abuja.
Ndukwe explained that the plan was already concluded if the APC should zone the presidential ticket to the South East.
He said that the group’s clamour for Orji Kalu is to enable him replicate the outstanding feat he has achieved as the senator representing Abia North senatorial district.
The director general reiterated the group’s determination to mobilise funds to purchase the presidential nomination form for Sen. Kalu, adding that the Senate Chief Whip is an exemplary leader.
“The OUK Movement Abia State as a foremost bi-partisan grassroots advocacy group has drummed up support and lend a strong voice,’’ he said.
The group stressed that they have mobilised funds to purchase the presidential nomination form for Kalu should APC micro zone their presidential slot to the South East.
Ndukwe expressed the preparedness of the group to also purchase senatorial form for Kalu to return to the senate if the presidency was not zoned to the South East.
“And we will also mobilise funds and other essential resources to ensure that OUK is reelected for a second tenure in 2023 as the robust senator representing the people of Abia North.”
