A group Concerned Abia Professionals has accused the former deputy governor of the state, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe of losing the opportunity of contesting as the running mate of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu for a second term in 2003 governorship election in the state as a result of his involvement in what it called criminal forgery of revenue receipts and diversion of public funds to personal pocket.

According to the group, the Abia South Senator while he was deputy to Sen Kalu during his first term in office played an ignominious role and act of criminality that lead to the ouster, stating that he and his cohorts forged the revenue receipts of the state and fraudulently diverted the state's purse to their personal purse.

The group in a statement signed by Dr. Andrew Chukwuma was reacting to the book titled Made In Aba, authored by Sen. Abaribe in which it accused him of deliberately attempting to malign the character of his former boss, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, Abia North, and other illustrious sons of the state.

Concerned Abia Professionals described Senator Abaribe as an ingrate, recalling how Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu allegedly picked him from obscurity and made him a deputy governor.

It says Sen. Abaribe was allegedly languishing in Lagos and struggling to get a ticket to contest for House of Assembly in Abia when he ran into Sen. Kalu who as of then was already made and was the front line candidate for governorship election In Abia.

The says it was when Abaribe ran into Sen. Kalu that his political fortune changed as Sen. Kalu offered him on a platter of gold the deputy governorship slot without previously knowing who Abaribe was.

The release further read, "Indeed Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe owes all his political success to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and family, who brought him from obscurity and gave him a political future

"The group who is not holding brief for Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu or family stated that they are concerned because Orji Kalu is one the biggest lights from the South East Zone therefore they wouldn't fold their hands and watch his reputation stained especially since they were privy to what lead to the fall of Enyinnaya Abaribe as deputy governor of Abia state

"Finally the group enjoins Abains and indeed Nigerians to jettison the masked attempt to tarnish the image of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu whom they hold in high esteem especially when the false assertions vituperated by senator Enyinnaya Abaribe did not in any way directly indict Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu rather he was merely chasing shadows

"Furthermore the group stated that the book " made in Aba" is incoherent, shallow and empty, and more like a forged memoir of a rabble-rouser."

Abaribe said you took him to a shrine to swear an oath, he gave proofs, gave the location and date.

He refused, and you threw him out.


You are here giving out baseless claims. There's a video of the second governor of Abia going to a shrine to take an oath too... Theodore Orji.

no problem we love him like that.

Abaribe the only Senate from south East that love his people. If OUK get sense he should not try a fight with Abaribe because this Abaribe will sink his political career.

Who cares what a satanic group thinks? We like am like that...
I wonder why Abaribe never even go for governorship.

What does a high ranking Senator like Abaribe needs a deputy governorship seat for?

Then
Can you bring the matter to court
We know that orji kalu is a bigger thief
Biggest in south east

Firecrackers

If Abaribe ever had a criminal forgery issue, the APC would have used him for mince meat...

You support Naija? What thievery is greater than that? Get out, your campaign is dead on arrival.

He started out as Deputy governor then got impeached, they moved to ANPP ( "Nye anyi otu onu" - those in Abia State that period will understand that slogan), moved back to PDP when OUK decamped from PDP and became a force since then

Orji kalu wey talk now don turn to group.

Can anything good come out of ABIA state (politics/politicians wise)?

In South south:Bayelsa followed by Delta State

In South East: Abia followed by Imo state

In North Central:Kogi followed by Kwara state.

Naija go truly better any day these states start producing better leaders, for they kinda mirror naija.

Abaribe and forgery
