I Am An Igbo Man By Birth And It Is Because Of The Igbos That Obasanjo Took Everything I Had” — Kalu

The Abia North senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has fired back at critics within the Igbo political community who call him a saboteur, declaring that his support for President Tinubu is a matter of party loyalty and none of their business.

Speaking on Arise News, Kalu said he is an Igbo man by birth who fought and sacrificed for the Igbos, a stance that cost him everything when Obasanjo seized his banks, his airline and his licenses.

He said any Igbo who wishes to support another Igbo candidate is free to do so, but his own business is to support the platform where he belongs, insisting that party loyalty comes first and that in Lagos he removes ethnic loyalty to be a Nigerian.

In Kalu’s words: “Let me tell you, I am an Igbo man by birth. I have saved the Igbos, I fought for the Igbos. It is because of the Igbos that Obasanjo damaged all my businesses, took all the banks, took the airline, took everything I had and revoked the licenses. So I do not care what anybody says. I support the APC. If any Igbo wants to support any other Igbo who is running, that is his business, it is not my business. My business is to support in the party where I am. Party loyalty is number one.”
