Ex-Governor Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia State is very angry with those who are saying that he has sold out Igbo people to the All Progressive Congress (APC)…

“I have never agreed with anybody. I speak what I know is the truth. Would any Igbo man with integrity like a court order to be disobeyed? Would you like theof a court to be flouted? Would you like that?”

“When you refuse to listen to a court of justice the only thing you should expect is chaos. I can never be bought by anybody, money cannot buy me. I was governor for eight years with Obasanjo as president; if I wanted to be bought over I could have been bought over to support the third term agenda.”

“So my loyalty and everything lies solely to the Nigerian people. It’s not ethnic. Remember I was a students’ union president. I was voted by over 99 and half percent of Muslim students, they were not Igbo. They saw the truth in me and that truth is what I am still holding on to till date. The cross I am carrying is the truth. I mean, sell who for what? What are they going to give me?”

“Truth is, most of the Igbo leaders are afraid of speaking the truth. They cannot continue to keep quiet. Yes I believe we are marginalised I don’t hide it, but I also believe that we can build a better country.”
