Former governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Kalu is very angry with Chief Edwin Clark and has bared his mind.
Kalu said: “If aspirants from the South-West and South-South cannot support their brothers from the South-East, It is only politically correct to support the North-East geo-political zone.”
“It will be the shortest route for the South-East zone to produce the president after 8 years instead of waiting for another 16 years.”
“Chief Clark didn’t call the majority of Southerners, including governors working against the South-East to order or the names he called me.”
“What did Clark say or do when all the aspirants from South-South and South-West were buying forms to run against South Easterners who have always supported them?”
“If Clark meant well for the South East, he could have discouraged other aspirants against running for President.”
“Nothing stops the South supporting only presidential aspirants from the South East. The betrayers are those who don’t care about South. We are wiser.”
“Majority of the Southerners in his party (PDP) are secretly supporting a North-Easterner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari”.
