The Abia State governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, Professor Greg Ibe, has refuted social media report that he had stepped down for the brother of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and candidate of the Action Peoples Party, APP, Mr Mascot Uzor Kalu.
Ibe who said there was no iota of truth in the mischievous report deliberately planted to cause confusion, said it was an insult to his person to step down for Kalu who by all standards, is not his match.
Professor Ibe said he was fully in the governorship race with his running mate, Hon. Obinna Ichita, and could not have withdrawn for anybody.
He advised media practitioners against peddling false and unconfirmed stories especially during election season when some desperate politicians are ready to do anything to achieve their selfish interests.
Ibe who described the report as a lie from the pit of hell, threatened legal action against the publishers of the fallacious report.
