MBEKI CONSULTS KALU OVER ELECTIONS

"HE IS THE VOICE TO IGBO PEOPLE, THE PILLAR ON WHICH WE CAN VOICE OUR OPINION WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT Orji Uzo Kalu"

Former president of South Africa, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, yesterday paid visit to the former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, to parley with him over the political future of the nation.
Mbeki has been on working visit to Nigeria and has had consultations with major political leaders, including President Goodluck Jonathan, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
At an exclusive interactive with Daily Sun in Abuja during the visit, Mbeki noted that he actually came to the country for the Obafemi Awolowo Leadership Foundation where he received a prize.
He stated: “Having been here already, and after attending the event, I felt the need to see political leaders in the country over the forthcoming elections and hear them and possibly put in some word of advice on the need for the nation to ensure a proper conduct of elections and never toe the line of violence.
“I am happy with my discussions with these key leaders because they gave me assurance of their resolve to make sure the elections are free, fair and acceptable by the known standards. Election is not war. Therefore, Africans expect Nigeria to do the proper thing and conduct an election all of us would be proud of at last.”
Mbeki also gave precise answers to questions in a short interview as follows:
What is this interest of yours in Nigeria that made you spend days meeting major political leaders?
First of all, you know the reason I came was because the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation gave me a leadership prize. That is the major reason I came to Nigeria. I received that prize on March 6. But since I am here already, you know Nigeria is a second home to me, I thought it was necessary to see as many leaders as possible. Because you know we are very interested in the success of Nigeria and now you have got the presidential and other elections coming at the end of this month and in April, so I thought that I should talk to the leadership just to get an idea as to what the Nigerian leadership thinks about the elections.

hahahaahahaha....badt guy,nothing pesin no go hia for NL

Wia are d igbos...cum in and confam dix gizt....na Kalu b una boss?

Igbo people have never had one voice. Orji Uzo Kalu can't even speak for Abia state.

Up till now, I haven't been given a reasonable explanation as to how Alex Ekwueme didn't become president in 1999

We don't have a leader kalu is despised in his own state

@ozoigbondu, he is a true leader, who has come to igbo peoples rescue in times of difficulty. Remember Apo of sokoto (ie when Igbos were killed) He was the first Igbo man to condemn the deportation of Igbo people from Lagos despite having a stake in lagos. He was also the first Igbo man to stood up to the sultan of sokoto and told him that enough is enough. we igbo have to rally around him. For Abia state the propaganda T.A Orji used to tarnish his Image is now backfiring. because most abians have seen the cock yash. ndewo my brother.

While Kalu is an Igbo Statesman, he is not the Leader of Ndigbo. Anyway no harm.

Sai Buhari.
