2006, When Ties Between Kalu and Buhari blossomed
By Peter Eze

The relationship between the former governor of Abia State, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu and prominent leaders of Nigeria like the president of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari; former Head of State General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, former Biafran Warlord and Igbo leader , late Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and others dates back to the 1980s . But in 2006 , a remarkable reunion took place in Abia State courtesy of Gov. Orji Uzor Kalu .

The young , ebullient , large hearted Kalu hosted a carnival- like event and reconciliatory meeting for his friends who at the time were perceived to be best of enemies to themselves . It was at the traditional event that his personal friend, General Muhammadu Buhari who also received the first Igbo traditional title reconciled with IBB and Ojukwu . Also at the event were late Sir Alex Ekwueme, Dr Chris Ngige, Elder(Mrs) Eunice Uzor Kalu (Odiukonamba) and others.

At then , General Buhari was a regular visitor to Neya Camp , Igbere ; the palatial country-home of OUK until he(Buhari )became the President of Nigeria . The friendship of the duo has however, become exceedingly admirable such that at the recent presidential campaign rally held in Aba , President Buhari couldn’t hide his joy as OUK gifted him the trademark and signature of Enyimba International FC. A club he nurtured to an enviable height of being the first Nigerian club to win the CAF cup back to back in 50 years .
