Former Governor of Abia State,
Dr. Orji Kalu, has stated that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) were only
demanding for their legitimate right.
He advised people not to dismiss
their agitation but try to reason with them.
Kalu said as far he was
concerned, IPOB members’ clamour was for conducive atmosphere that will enable
their businesses thrive.
In a chat with Arise News
Channel, Kalu also spoke on ‘third term bid’ of former president Olusegun
Obasanjo.
He noted that contrary to denials
by some of the governors during the period, all of them were actually
approached to give their support for an extension beyond the limit provided for
in the constitution.
The business mogul, however, said
while most of these governors succumbed to pressures, he sttod his ground.
Kalu said that was the genesis of
his trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Kalu further condemned Obasanjo’s
attitude to criticism and opposition.
His words: “If he can just stop
being a little bit petty; he is a man that is very petty and I don’t have any
regret in saying so. You see, if younger people did something to you, you
should be able to forgive them because life is very long.
“You should be able to also
forgive because that is the right thing to do. If Obasanjo had imbibed this
kind of virtue, we would have gone far with our democratic process but he left
serious things and started chasing shadows.
“Instead of calling for unity, he
put a lot of division because he wanted a third term. In looking for third
term, he was able to divide the governors, although most of them are not
speaking the truth today.”
Oga Kalu, I now realised u have many tongues, before u were against IPOB now u are speaking for IPOB, just let us know where u stand, bikonu I beg u, doo!
ReplyDeleteMichael the commentator, Kalu has never denied Ipob but only called them to order; of which if they had taken to orderliness, they wouldn't have been proscribed!
ReplyDeleteConfirm this from available records on Kalu's takes on Ipob, to the point that he was ready to shield NNAMDI KANU in his house at the heat of Egwu eke...
Bros please don't mind their foolish followowership on that lazy man called Kanu
