Make Yourself Senator If You Have Power To Make Governor- Sen. Orji Replies Kalu

The immediate past Governor of Abia State and Senator
representing Abia Central, Sen. Theodore Ahamefule Orji has
attributed his predecessor, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu’s political misery to
his presumptuousness and self-conceit.
In a statement on Saturday signed by his Media Adviser, Mr. Don
Norman Obinna and made available to newsmen, Sen. Orji who
was reacting to comment made against him by Kalu when he
was purportedly hosted by one Chief Uche Akwukwaegbu, said it
is a pity that Kalu has unconsciously brought the wrath of God
upon himself by his constant assumption of God.

The Senator representing Abia central senatorial district said that
nobody has the power to make anybody if the plan was not the
will of God adding that God is the only being that has the power
and the ability to change a man’s status.

Brushing aside Kalu’s claim that he made him governor, Sen. Orji
said, “If Kalu claimed that he made me governor, who then made
him governor in 1999 or did he make himself?

“If Kalu has the magic wand to make people governor as he often
claims in his laborious effort to garner sympathy how come he
has not been able to make himself Senator-one of the positions
he so much craves- despite contesting on three occasions?”

Sen. Orji further said that he has also forgiven Kalu but will not
forget how he acted as defacto governor for three years and
almost deprived the good people of Abia State the dividends’ of
democracy through his excessive demands and family burdens.
He said, “A liar will always be a liar no matter what. I am not
taken aback by Kalu’s antics; he is the one that needs all the
attention, propaganda and media coverage having the desire to
becoming the President of Nigeria, CAF and FIFA.

 My responsibility is to provide qualitative representation to the people
of Abia central and that I am committed to doing and not
competing with Kalu in craving relevance.”

Sen. Orji further dismissed Eze Samuel Onuoha, Chief
Akwkwaegbu (Bawas), Igwe Ohuhu and Chief Ukasoanya as fair
weather politicians and saboteurs who cannot be reckoned with
adding that they survive by kowtowing persons in power and
would turn their backs against the individuals when the goodies
cease.

“Kings seat in their palace and are visited not the other way
round. How can a man who called himself king stoop so low to
the extent of attending a political event organized and hosted in
one of his subordinates’ house with all his cabinet chiefs? That
shows you his standard.

“A king who can ridicule his stool and crown because of car gift
is not worthy of my attention. Besides, we have several kings
ruling over several autonomous communities that make up Ibeku
ancient kingdom; why was he the only king that attended the said
event? The King in question is not even the Chairman of Umuahia
council of Kings so what right has he to speak on behalf of Ibeku
people? He queries.

Sen. Orji said that their action was activated by greed and
animosity, adding that the fact that they admitted publicly and
apologized to Kalu for abandoning him after his so called
kindness to them lend credence to their despicability.

“For Ukasoanya who I revived after he was messed up by Kalu
and awarded him Ohia electricity project which he abandoned
after collecting money or Bawas whose means of livelihood in
Cote d’ Voire was not known before I made him contractor as
well as awarded him several contracts including the road that
leads to his village to turn against me just after 15 months shows
their charlatanism. If Bawas denied this let him show one list of
contract he has executed somewhere else except the ones I gave
to him,” Sen. Orji added.
