Former Governor of Abia State, Dr
Orji Uzor Kalu, has said that the visit to President Muhammadu Buhari by some top
shots of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has vindicated him.
The former governor made the
remark during a dinner hosted in his honour by Dr Nasiru Abubakar in Shanghai,
China.
Kalu, a chieftain of the APC, had
on June 2 visited the ailing president in London and told Nigerians that the
president’s health was improving, saying he should be expected back to the
country soon.
Kalu’s visit was followed by that
of the wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari and Acting President Yemi
Osinbajo who came back with a similar message.
He said, “It behoves on me to
support the government in power and the APC policies. First, I speak as a
member of the APC, second, as a friend of the president and third, as a
Nigerian who wants the country to move forward. We should try to be our
brothers’ keeper.
“You see, I’m excited because as
we speak, news has it that President Buhari is receiving the national chairman
of APC and some governors on visit.
“This has vindicated most of us; people wanted
to kill us for telling them that the president is alive and will soon be back.
I don’t know what people would gain if a leader dies.
“It’s written in both the Bible
and Koran that we should pray for our leaders. Our leaders need our prayers;
they need our help and cooperation.”
Kanu also chided accused treasury
looters and referred to them as ‘shameless people’ for boasting to return to
power in 2019.
He said corruption is the
greatest challenge of the Nigerian society and regretted that people are paying
lip service to it.
“People are just saying anything
on it. Nigerians should be able to identify corrupt leaders. How can somebody
just be given a position, and in less than two days he is already a very rich
man and nobody asks questions.
“So, I want to encourage all of
you to be agents of government. The country needs lot of healing and unity.”
