Kalu ruined Abia – Ohaneze youths

Former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu

Youths of Ohaneze Ndigbo on Wednesday said former Abia State Governor Uzor Kalu “left a legacy of infrastructural decay, hopelessness and unemployment in the eight years he ruled the state”.

They claimed that while Kalu’s businesses grew in “quantum” from 1999 to 2007 when he was governor, “the collective patrimony of Abians dwindled”.

The youths, reacting to an interview in which Kalu called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to arrest corrupt governors, said the former governor, by his call, unknowingly reminded the anti-graft agency to re-ignite his prosecution.

National Organising Secretary, Ohanseze Ndigbo Youths, Mr. Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the youth believed that Kalu’s call was not lost on the anti-graft agency.

He said, “In the interview, he also claimed to be championing the Igbo Presidency Project in 2015. Here again, he is doing what he is known for – playing with the political destiny of Ndigbo.

“Very soon he will jump ship and abandon those following his mantra. Did he not disappoint in the past? The unfortunate thing is that Uzor Kalu thinks the Igbo are fools and easily forgetful.”

Isiguzoro also said claims by Kalu that he had returned to the Peoples Democratic Party were false.-----Punch
