In a telephone chat with The Guardian, the governor, who is also the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Progressive Alliance (PPA), said: "Abia people are hardworking. We are traders and civil servants and do not want to incur and suffer unnecessary losses plus the dislocation of the economy already caused by the Obasanjo administration."

The governor added: "This holiday is unnecessary and political. It is not on the national calendar. It was unilaterally declared and imposed by one man."

Kalu said that Nigerians do not also need the break after the Easter and Islamic holidays, stressing that Abia State workers, traders and others in the state would disregard it and go about their normal duties.

“The fact is that two days for people to prepare for an election is too much. You don’t have such frivolous declaration of public holidays in other countries. There is no way the work-free days will not have a negative effect on the organised private sector and by extension the economy of the country.”
