The immediate past governor of Abia State and senator represent­ing Abia central, Chief Theodore Ahamefule Orji has described as laughable the allegation of under-performance and infrastructural neg­ligence against him by his predecessor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu.

In a press released by his media adviser, Mr. Don Norman Obinna, in Umuahia, Sen. Orji said that Kalu’s incessant attacks and sponsored propaganda against him through his media organisations and dis­gruntled aides were self-defeating as they have always had the opposite effect.
Kalu had while react­ing to the recent politi­cal misapprehension in Abia State through his media adviser; Mr. Eb­ere Wabara described Abia State as the most backward state in Nige­ria, blaming Sen. Orji’s emergence as the gov­ernor of Abia State in 2007 as the catalyst for “infrastructural negli­gence and bad gover­nance in the God’s Own State.”

But in his swift reac­tion, Sen. Orji described Kalu’s recent outburst as diversionary from his pending case with the Economic and Finan­cial Crimes Commis­sion (EFCC), as well as his eight years of crass ineptitude, slavery and political manipulation of the state and her citi­zenry.
The senator repre­senting Abia central, said he was not sur­prised that Kalu would choose to mislead in­nocent citizens because that has always been his stock in trade.
