Former Governor of Abia State and
chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has
reacted to reports quoting him as saying that he killed people when he was a
member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to the former governor,
he was quoted out of context in an interview he granted journalists after the
South East executive committee meeting of the APC held in Abuja last Wednesday.
“I did not say I used to kill
people during congress when I was a member of the PDP”, he said.
“Rather, I pointed out that due
to political rivalry and other vices, people used to die during congresses in
the PDP.
“I am not only a law-abiding
Nigerian but also a devout Catholic who does not believe in ungodly and inhuman
acts. I have never killed anyone and will never do such nor engage anyone to
kill on my behalf.
“People should not twist my
interview to suit their selfish, wicked and barbaric ambitions. I am a man of
peace and I can never derail from the path of peace.”
The former governor, while
advising media outfits especially online platforms to verify information before
disseminating, urged Nigerians “to disregard the false, malicious and wicked
news.”
