Orji Uzor Kalu Laments

Ex-Governor Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia State has cried out to Nigerians: “The pension laws of Abia State did not exclude me from being paid as expected. In fact, it is illegal according to the law to deny one his rights and privileges.”

“Since 2009, I have not received any pension or entitlement from the state government but I took it in good faith. I have earlier written to my two successors in different periods notifying them of how they were flouting the laws by withholding my pensions, but it was ignored.”

“If it is out of will to disregard the law, I shall instruct my lawyers to take a legal action against the governor for denying me my rights. If the present governor cannot resolve it, I will seek redress in the court. It doesn’t matter what I will be doing with the money. I can channel it into humanitarian service and philanthropy but the laws must be obeyed.”
