Chief Chidiebere J. Okoh, a prominent APC chieftain in Abia State and a steadfast supporter of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has voiced his concerns over the recent viral video featuring a group of women from Ohafia who can be heard chanting a death wish against the senator. The video, which has sparked widespread debate, saw the women calling for the death of Senator Kalu in their local dialect.

Okoh, who is known for his political influence and unwavering support for Senator Kalu, has described the sentiments expressed in the video as extreme and undemocratic. He strongly condemned the violent rhetoric, emphasizing that it undermines the democratic values that Nigerians hold dear.

In a statement released to the public, Chief Okoh stressed the importance of dialogue and peace in resolving differences. He urged the people of Ohafia and the entire Abia North Senatorial Zone to engage in constructive discussions rather than resorting to hate-filled chants. “While it is natural for people to voice their concerns, there is a need to remain respectful and avoid actions that may lead to greater divisions within the community,” Okoh remarked.

He also called for self-restraint, warning that such provocative acts could potentially heat up the political atmosphere ahead of the 2027 general elections. “We must not allow personal grievances or political differences to spiral out of control. It is crucial for the future of Abia State and Nigeria that we maintain peace and foster unity,” Okoh added.

In conclusion, Chief Okoh reiterated his commitment to supporting Senator Kalu and called on all citizens to promote dialogue, mutual respect, and understanding, regardless of political affiliations. As the 2027 elections draw nearer, he emphasized the need for all parties to exercise caution, ensuring that the political climate remains calm and conducive to a fair, peaceful electoral process.
