The chief press secretary to Abia state governor, Ugochukwu Emezue has described as untrue allegation by the former governor of the state, Uzor Kalu that chief TA Orji wants to revoke his degree certificate.
> In a statement in Umuahia, Mr. Emezue stated that the former governor is not a graduate of Abia state university as investigations have revealed.
> According to Mr. Emezue,there was a petition against the former governor alleging that he was not properly admitted into ABSU not to talk of graduating.
> The petitioner claimed that Kalu armtwisted the school authorities to admit him while he was the governor following public outcry then that the state governor was not a graduate.
> The petitioner also claimed that Kalu as the governor only came to school for two semesters.
> Following this allegations, the senate set up a panel which found out that the transcript Kalu sent to ABSU from the university of Maiduguri did not bear the letter head of that institution.
> Secondly, Kalu did not matriculate according to the rules and guidelines of the institution which makes it mandatory for a student to matriculate having dropped out from another university.
> Thirdly,Kalu only came to school for two semesters and never graduated.
> The chief press secretary stated that ab initio Kalu was not a graduate of the institution and the allegation of revoking his degree certificate is neither here nor there.
> Mr. Emezue stated that Kalu knows fully that he is not a graduate of ABSU.
> He advised the former governor to go to court to challenge the outcome of the panel’s report if he so desires.
> The chief press secretary declared that the university authorities have the right to investigate certificate racketeering when the need arises.
> He called on Kalu to leave chief TA Orji out of his certificate scandal.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely indeed...I remember 8 years ago when T.A Orji himself as the Chief of Staff to Orji Kalu, championed and made sure Prof Ogwo who was d VC of ABSU graduated and awarded d former d governor a degree in ABSU. Today, this same T.A Orji has ordered d current VC, Prof Ogbuagu to withdraw d same degree certificate. In short, d senate of d institution is seating in the next 30 mins solely to withdraw d certificate. This happens when meritocrity in a society is replaced with mediocrity.

The two Orjis are partners in crime. BIG BIG BIG CLOWNS

If it is true, that means we've had another version of Salisu Buhari (toronto) in Orji Uzor Kalu.
The thing is getting hot and crazy mehn. Lemme continue to watch the next counter allegation from uzor kalu if he is gonna say T.A Orji is dickless cos he helped Orji to shine his wife's congo

To a greater part of the reaction culminated from the T.A ORJI and ORJI UZOR KALU issue on news of today,i discovered many were against the corrupt practice perpetrated by OUK which even engineered his nomination as governor of ABIA state...and his wangling on ABSU from where he got a degree without even attending any level of academic excellence...i see T.A wants to revoke that with effect,which to me is a good idea if he can succeed in doing...having said that,i want to stress that if this trickery system of using money to obtain or bought degree without attending higher institution is what most non-erudite rich men do to become governors and leaders ,i think its high time we start protesting as T.A is about doing concerning ORJI UZOR KALU...we should be wary of whom we give mandate to....thank you ,UMU ABIA.....IHE DI NMA AMAKA, IHE DI NJO AJOKA.....ABIA NMA NMA

If OUKs cert is to be withdrawn then that of the cretin TA Orji should also be withdrawn somewhere cos OUK looks more educated than Okija pant man TA

OUK IS A BIG MESS IN ABIA STATE POLITY...HE TOOK ALL OUR FUND AND RAN AWAY....HE NEVER GRADUATED FROM ANY UNIVERSITY...HE USED MONEY TO BUY DEGREE IN ABSU..LET T.A ORJI REVOKE HIS CERTIFICATE,HE HAS THE RIGHT TO DO SO

@IDUPAUL,T.A is better than OUK,and never to compare them........T.A has been outstanding we should give him our support...OUK is a bad leader..he is a bad politician

So a Governor can get a degree witout attendin classes cos he has money to buy it. Bt waec can wake up 1 day and cancel someone's result. ABIA i smh for you.

The Senate of Abia State University this afternoon, unanimously withdrew the degree certificate of Orji Uzor Kalu as a graduate of Government and Public Administration, in the Faculty of Humanities of the university.

OUK can not contest for any election in Nigeria until he goes back to school to obtain a degree....he is a full tout of the highest order..he made no sense to Abians

OUK's political career is finished as far as Abia state is concerned cos the people are wiser now. OUK can not deceive them anymore with his mesmerizing talks without any action. Gov.TA is better of for Abians.

lecturerdabo: The two Orjis are partners in crime. BIG BIG BIG CLOWNS

U have said it all and we know them. I was waitng for when they would both stand out and I knew it would happen once Kalu leave power. TA Oji should just be careful cos you don't go empty handed to the market to watch the masquerade.

The present Orji (T. A. Orji) shld also be ready for his can of worms to be opened once he leaves power. I'm sure his will be worst than Certificate. Efcc and all are waiting. Good move if borne out of good intention.
He who goes to equity, goes with clean hands.

Are we still talking about OUK,his career is finished as far as Abia state politics is concerned......he is a failure

You and T. A. Orji are lost and politically hopeless.

SSCE is the minimum qualification for contesting Nigeria President
