This he said is to forestall a situation where there will be infiltration and importation of fictitious names and designations by some overzealous party men.

B. Apugo, former lawmaker, Senator Bob Nwannunu and member representing Bende Federal Constituency, Hon. Benjamin Kalu were among those who made the statutory delegate list.

The Senator representing Abia North in the letter also appealed to Buni to treat the letter as “most important.”

Kalu’s letter with the title ‘Forwarding of the list of statutory delegates from Abia State (APC) to the 2022 National Convention’, reads:

“I write as the Chief Whip of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and leader of APC in Abia State, to convey to your Excellency, the attached authentic list of statutory delegates from Abia State (APC Chapter) as required and provided for in the constitution of our great party APC for the forthcoming National Convention.
