Former Abia governor, Dr Orji Kalu, on Thursday faulted ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to President Muhammadu Buhari criticising his poor handling of the economy and advising him not to contest the 2019 presidential election.

Kalu told newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2, Lagos, that Obasanjo lacked the moral right to comment on such national issues.
He noted that Buhari’s government may be slow in taking critical decisions, but had done well in tackling corruption, recalling high level of graft in the 16 years that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ruled Nigeria.
Kalu said Buhari had recorded modest achievements in his two and half years tenure, which necessitates his re-election.
The former governor listed the commencement of work on the Second Niger Bridge and other interventions in the economy as some of Buhari’s feats.
“I am not going to talk about former President Obasanjo’s letter because I am going to make some consultations with the United States, Germany, China and the United Kingdom, then I will come back and speak on that letter.
“I think Obasanjo’s letter is not in the best interest of Nigeria. I don’t want to reply him because I have given you example times without number.
“There are three express roads Obasanjo refused to build when he was the president of Nigeria; Port Harcourt-Okigwe-Umuahia-Enugu expressway. It is being built now by the Buhari administration.
“Another one is the Enugu-Awka-Onitsha Expressway. It is being built now by the Buhari administration. Obasanjo did not build it.
“Then there is the Onitsha-Owerri-Aba Expressway. The Buhari administration is building it now.
“Between Obasanjo and Buhari who should I call my friend in real terms? So Buhari is my friend; so he is a better President.

“I don’t wish to reply that letter because the former president has no morals that should qualify him to write that letter,” he said.
According to Kalu, Nigerians have also not forgotten the $16 billion wasted on building power plants by the Obasanjo administration which yielded no result.
He said it would therefore be unfair to the South East, South South and South Western parts of Nigeria not to support the second term bid of Buhari.
He however advised Buhari to speak on security issues in Nigeria because it was threatening the fabric of socio-economic cohesion of the country.
Kalu said the challenge of herdsmen/farmers clash was lingering in some states because their governors lacked the capacity to handle the situation. (NAN)

Bla blah blah!

bia kalu...

Look at this one,you too don't have the moral right to criticize OBJ so shiit away.

Thank you Uncle Uzor. You have been noticed.

You are right, Obasanjo has no moral right to criticize Buhari and it is also morally wrong for you to tell us that.

Yes he is fighting corruption by making you a free man, by dinning with you, by making star witness in your trial disappear and not testify against you. Una lucky say I no get gun, squad or be terrorist because I for take all of una down, turn after turn.

It is very good to complain on social media platforms but it is even better to ensure you register for INEC voters card if you have never owned one or if you just turned 18 years. INEC registration is going on at the moment and will close by 31st January. Visit INEC website for registration centres close to you. This registration is the most silent one I ever seen. Don't be disenfranchised, remember only your PVC qualifies you to change our collective destiny. This government is capable of anything, hence the silent registration exercise. This are areas that can be exploited by them. If anyone thinks Buhari will relinquish power like a gentle man like GEJ, please have a rethink. It is going to be a tussle. Prepare your minds to fight to finish. Please share within all your circle

And you Kalu do not have the moral right to criticize OBJ or whoever decides to write letter to brother Buhari!

Kalu should go and sort out himself with EFCC first

Weak, try a better more intellectual response.

OBJ was a bad president to you because he didn't construct some roads in the East, fine. You can't please everybody.

OBJ is no saint but Brother Kalu analyze what he said and quit playing politics with everything unnecessarily. Forget the messenger but consider the message now!

OBJ spoke the minds of most people and Brother Kalu, your people are even wailing, Nigerians are wailing. Anyway I understand, support APC and your corruption charges are wiped away, behold you are born again, old sins have passed away and you are new now. Honestly if I see you now, I will gladly stone you for not being considerate.

Just imagine Orji Uzor Kalu talking about corruption..Abia is very much alive to his time in office as governor from 1999-2007.

This man should know when to keep quiet and just say, 'no comment' on some issues and this is one of them.
