  "summary": "The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State has lifted an ultimatum issued to Senator Orji Kalu and Member Chris Nkwonta over alleged anti-party remarks concerning Governor Alex Otti. The decision was made at a stakeholders' meeting held at the APC secretariat in Umuahia, where party leaders and stakeholders resolved to put their grievances behind them as they prepare for the 2027 general elections. The State Working Committee of the party described the alleged statements and actions of the two APC leaders as \"unstatesmanlike, irresponsible, embarrassing and inimical\" to the unity and electoral prospects of the party in the state.",
