Spirited attempts by the former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu to join the APC have failed again because the APC Governors in the South West Region are not comfortable with Kalu whom they described as a spent force with a deceitful character.
It is reported that Kalu in the past few weeks has been visiting APC Governors in the South West to beg them to persuade Chief Tinubu to soft pedal on his hard stance on the issue of joining APC.
Kalu was also seen at the Oni of Ife palace with the same appeal for Tinubu to allow him an in road into APC. We gathered authoritatively that Kalu had begged some of the APC governors including Atiku to save him from the current situation as he has been rejected by PDP despite his attempt to gate crash into the ruling Party.
Kalu told some of his guests that paid him a visit recently that his situation is so pathetic due to the diminishing of his political relevance since he left office as a Governor.
The APC Governors told Kalu to go and revive PPA so as so prove himself as he claimed to be popular across the Country.
Tinubu is insisting that there is no space for Kalu in APC and that the Party cannot accommodate Atiku and at the same time accommodate the huge trouble that goes with Kalu. Meanwhile, the Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko also frowned at Kalu's lack of political direction.

Chief Larry Essien former PPA Chairman described Uzor Kalu political ambition a huge joke
Former Chairman of PPA, Chief Larry Essien has described as huge joke plans by the ex Abia governor Uzor Kalu to run for the Senate in 2015. Essien who said he left PPA due to Kalu’s over bearing and deceitful character, argued that Kalu has no political relevance and cannot win even in his village or environ.
Essien wondered why Kalu who has been telling people that he wants to be President, is now thinking of going to the Senate on the platform of PDP, a party that has rejected him. He told Kalu to go and revive PPA and contest on that platform, instead of deceiving himself.
Essien however, confirmed that Kalu attempts to join APC were rebuffed by Tinubu who described Kalu as a spent force and confusionist without sense of direction. He warned Kalu to stop using President Jonathan’s name to draw attention to himself as he (kalu) remains, a political leper.
Kalu he said should bow in shame, as his antics can't work again, the people now know better.
