Constituents Disown Orji Kalu For Advocating Muslim/muslim Ticket For Tinubu by powerfulguy: 1:54pm On Jun 16, 2022
. Ask him to withdraw comment, apologise
. Muslim/Muslim ticket invitation to anarchy – Abia monarch

Senate Chief Whip and Senator representing Abia North Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has been disowned by his constituents for asking the All Progressive Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Alhaji Ahmed Bola Tinubu, a Muslim, to pick a fellow Muslim as his running mate.

Kalu who insisted that there was nothing wrong if Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, runs a Muslim-Muslim ticket, said that it would be politically naive for Tinubu, a minority Muslim from the South-West to choose a minority Christian from the North as his running mate.

But in a swift response, his constituents dismissed Kalu’s remarks as “shameful and disappointing”, saying he only spoke for himself and his pocket.

Responding, the paramount traditional ruler of Abiriba ancient kingdom, HRM Eze Kalu Kalu Ogbu (Enachoken), said the comment by the former Governor if truly he made such a remark was “strange, unbelievable and illogical”.

He argued that the religious plurality of Nigeria did not favour a joint ticket of same religion, hence, anybody suggesting otherwise should be disregarded.

” The ideas is strange. I don’t think he made such advocacy but if he did, he didn’t speak for Abia North, he didn’t speak for Ndigbo because such a comment doesn’t make sense at all. It’s very inappropriate.”

Similarly, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Abia North, Dr Isaac Nkole, said that Kalu had since, lost political steam and was only trying to warm his way to Tinubu’s camp after opposing his presidential ambition.

Dr Nkole said “it is very embarrassing for a supposed Senator in Kalu’s ranking to advocate Muslim/Muslim or even Christian/Christian ticket in a religious sensitive and plural state like Nigeria.”

He argued that “religion and ethnicity have unfortunately remained Nigeria’s fault lines which must not be dismissed with a wave of the hand in the interest of peace and national cohesion.”

The PDP chieftain reminded Kalu that “no amount of hypocritical remarks” would make Tinubu and his camp to forget that he supported and worked for Ahmed Lawan against Tinubu before and during the APC presidential primary.

He dismissed Kalu as “a disappointment and enemy” to Abia North, Christianity and Ndigbo, vowing that “the 2019 mistake” that brought him to power would never be repeated.

”Abia North will never again be represented by a political rolling stone ready to sell our future for a pot of porridge. The other time somebody said he brought RUGA to Lokpanta which is today a source of constant sorrow to the state. Today, somebody is championing Muslim/Muslim ticket. Is this part of lawmaking? How many bills has he sponsorsed? Must he always be in the news for the wrong reason?

”How did Abia North get to this point? Should Kalu not be ashamed that Tinubu who was Governor same time with him is today miles ahead of him politically? Should he keep advertising greed and shortsightedness?

”When Tinubu was busy building people Kalu was building Camp Neya. Both of them were in the presidential race but Kalu suddenly pulled out and began to shout Lawan and Northern presidency even against his fellow Igbo aspirants.

” Today, because he saw that his Lawan has been swept away by the Jagaban force that is why he has become Tinubu’s self-appointed adviser. What is he afraid of? Could that be a smart way of stopping a possible re-opening of his EFCC case by an eventual Tinubu administation?

“At the time he was supporting Lawan ,his party was saying that power should shift to South. How many of his Northern colleagues can do same for the South the way he is shamelessly doing?”

Speaking also the former Chairman, Umuahia North Council of Traditional Rulers and the monarch of Oriendu Autonomous community, HRM Eze Philip Ajomuiwe, said that the opinion of the former Governor on the matter was fault, and and invitation to anarchy.

He asked him to withdraw the position which, according to him is unbefitting of a Senator like him.

The monarch who described Kalu as a personal friend expressed disappointment over the suggestion, saying he would call him to tell him how he felt.

“I lack adjectives to qualify Senator Kalu for what he said. How can that work in Nigeria? Muslim/Muslim ticket is an invitation to anarchy. We can’t even suggest Christian/Christian ticket. There has to be a balance because Nigeria is highly sensitive to religion.”

Orji and his lunacy will be treated next year.

He thinks he's unstoppable making all kind of unsettling comments.

Next year, we will replace him with a formidable candidate from APGA

When you see people above 40years supporting Atiku and Tinubu, they are people who never meant well for Nigeria.
They want us to waste our lives electing disastrous leaders just the way they did.

If sufferness never tire Una, we are not destined to suffer.
we won't waste our lives supporting old grandpas..

Apologise for having his say? Hehehe, na wa oo!

Even if Tinubu picks a Reverend from that region, they will still say he has joined evil party and won't vote for him. So why are they concerned all of a sudden?

Make una rest abeg.

Hungry monarch!

Kalu has the right to advocate for whatever he deems fit. He has the constitutional right to do so as a Nigerian, and no 3rd class monarch can deny or challenge him for his political views.

Why villages need to start coronating educated monarchs. All this illiterates just be constituting nuisances in the name of the village.

Kalu ... the Big thief that should be in Kuje Prison.

The Northern Slave that deceived Big Fat Lawan to contest the Presidential primaries against his Benefactor.

Now Lawan doesn't want to hear him speak again because he has also lost his APC return ticket to the Senate..

Lawan now Suffers from memory loss as witnessed yesterday in the Red Chamber.

Even his New Young wife is planning to leave him because no more Legislative cash flow from 2023.

Next time... If Lawan see Kalu coming from the Right, he would take the Left because a Slave is a Slave no matter the position he occupy.
