The Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has revealed that
President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are good
friends.
Kalu said Tinubu and Atiku are only playing politics because
they might be visiting each other at night, away from public glare.
The former Abia State governor disclosed this while
dismissing those criticizing his recent visit to Governor Alex Otti of Abia
State.
In an interview with Channels Television, Kalu said: “If
anybody is thinking that I’m going to stop going to the governor because I’m a
senator in APC and he’s a governor in Labour Party, they are just wasting their
time.
“What if I go out of politics tomorrow, will I start going
to amend friendship because I abandoned it because of party? No.
“Remember during Obasanjo, I was the only governor—and Boni
Haruna—going to Atiku’s house. Obasanjo drove away all the governors. I have an
open relationship with Atiku.
“Atiku is Tinubu’s good friend, but they are playing
politics. I am sure they might even be exchanging visits in the night. Nobody
knows.
“It is healthy for constitutional democracy. For people
hiding, it’s not good. There are a lot of people who will deceive Tinubu and
say, ‘I don’t want to talk to this man,’ but they hide to talk to them. But I
don’t.
“All the major players in PDP are my friends, and I can’t do
away with them because they are in another party.”
