“I Started Funding Obasanjo When He Left Prison; He Was at My House in Victoria Island” – Orji Kalu

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has recounted how he provided financial support to former President Olusegun Obasanjo after he came out of prison, claiming that Obasanjo was at his house in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, the former Abia State governor discussed his financial contributions to the party that produced him as governor. He claimed that he provided funds when the party was struggling financially, before prominent figures such as T.Y. Danjuma began supporting it.

Recalling his support for Obasanjo, Kalu said he started funding him after he came out of prison. He also claimed that Obasanjo was at his house in Victoria Island and that he provided financial assistance for his aircraft.

In his words, “I started funding, like President Obasanjo when he came out of prison, he was in my house, he used to be in Victoria Island, started funding him, started funding his aircraft, started hiring aircraft and bringing my own aircraft to take him.”

Kalu maintained that becoming governor was not a reward for the financial support he had given the party. He further claimed that his political involvement came at a cost to his businesses, saying that what he got in return was the destruction of those businesses.
