Former governor of Abia State and
chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Orji Uzo Kalu has
called on the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to remain calm
and law abiding as he consults with the federal authorities towards finding a
lasting panacea to the brewing crisis in Abia State.
Kalu spoke in response to the
military presence in the state and the South East and confrontations between
the IPOB youths and the federal security forces.
In a statement issued yesterday
from Abuja, the business mogul said he has been briefed about the crisis and
has swiftly begun consultations with federal authorities and leaders of the
IPOB towards bringing calm back to the region.
He described the unfolding events
as very unfortunate to have degenerated to this level happening in not just the
South East region but in his own state which he once governed for eight years.
The former governor recalled
that, “in democracy every group has its fundamental right to express their
grievances but such action must follow due process in line with the
constitution of the country to avoid breakdown of law and order.
“However, in this case dialogue
remains the best solution to solving grievances.”
