Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, has denied supporting the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He dismissed statements credited to a former governor of the state, Orji Uzor Kalu, that he was supporting Tinubu as mere speculations and wishful thinking.
Addressing reporters after inspecting the final asphalt overlay on Faulks Road, Aba, Ikpeazu said “no member of G5 can railroad another member into supporting anyone against his will as suggested by Senator Kalu”.
