This is following a video released by Oak TV, where Orji Kalu was quoted as said that, "a lot of people used to die during the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, congress, but in APC, although, they may have quarrel but they settle it amicably amongst themselves.

Reacting through a counter statement released by Mr. Kenneth Udeh, a special Media Assistant to Dr. Orji Kalu, the video which he tagged as purported is totally "mischievous" and the handiwork of the enemies of democracy, political opponents who are intimated by the soaring profile of Dr. Kalu

He said; "Let me categorically and unequivocally state that Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu never made such a statement, his statement was grossly misunderstood and misquoted .

"Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has never and will never partake in the taking of human life for whatsoever purpose and that the video being circulated is fake, doctored and an unfortunate negative use of the media technology to tarnish the "hard earned " image of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu of international repute .

"We strongly consider this as a calculated "mischievous" handiwork the enemies of democracy and the "evil craft " of political opponents who are intimated by the soaring profile of Dr. Kalu.

"Since his early days in holding leadership positions . Orji Uzor Kalu has always been committed to the promotion of peace and democratic resolutions in the country.

"It's saddening that the " Media under reports " the peaceful activities and programmes embarked upon by Dr. Kalu but are swift in reporting negative materials.

"On the 16th of September 2017 , Dr. Kalu hosted thousands of youths under the auspices of the Junior Chamber International to an annual youth sumit which included a "Peace Walk" aimed at orientation of people on the need to embrace peace .

"On December 2017 Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu proposed the construction a centre for peace and conflict resolution at the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN).

"During the IPOB unrest in the Southeast rather than tow the path of "Selfish Interest" to score cheap political points like most politicians Dr. Kalu never hesitated to condemn the "acts" of the Youths which was capable of throwing the nation into another civil war.

"It is on record that Dr. Kalu has always preached the need to respect the rule of law at every event or programme hosted by him.

"It is also on record that that Dr. ORJI KALU is not a "Desperate Politician" all through the times he contested and the results manipulated against him , he has never resulted to any form of violence but rather sought judicial redress.

"In 2007 when President Obasanjo attempted to manipulate the constitution for his selfish 3rd Term Agenda Dr. Orji Kalu stood courageously to oppose the agenda this averted a violent crisis that was about to consume the nation.

"Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is a responsible family man , a stuanch Catholic , peace advocate and detribalized Nigerian of international repute and would never decend to the lowest ebb of life by engaging in any form of violence, blackmail or cheap propaganda not to talk of taking of human life to settle scores .

"We are in a political season so we urge the good people of Nigeria not be distracted and be on guard against media propaganda of this nature.

"We challenge the media, the political class including current and past political associates of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu to present any visual report of violence that can be attested to Dr. Orji Kalu since he joined politics .

"We leave you with the full original video of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu where he spoke to journalists immediately he came out the meeting hall gave his address thanked the journalists and left.
