Dr Orji Kalu, Senator-elect for Abia North Senatorial District on Wednesday said his visit to Venezuela was a peace initiative of the Orji Kalu Foundation and its partners across the world.

A statement made available to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) by Mr Kunle Oyewunmi of Orji Kalu Media Office said it was contrary to speculations reported on social media platforms that the former governor of Abia met with President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro to cut oil deals.

Kalu, who did not disclose full details of the peace moves, said there must be peace and harmony for any nation to thrive.

He said that he also used the opportunity to meet with members of the Afro-Venezuelan community.

Kalu called on the governments of United States of America, United Kingdom, China, Russia, Nigeria and others to fashion out an inclusive and integrated strategy to overcome the crisis facing Venezuela.

He, however, pointed out that foreign leaders and diplomatic corps across the world are deliberating on the challenges being faced by Venezuela in a bid to restore peace and normalcy.

“I am in Venezuela in my capacity as the founder and chief promoter of Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation.

“The visit is in line with our foundation’s objective of promoting peace across the world.

“We are working with development partners and critical stakeholders to ensure peace and prosperity in Venezuela.

“We are living in a global community and as such, we must continue to promote and sustain peace initiatives across the world,” Kalu said.

Kalu noted that upon his return to Nigeria, he would brief President Muhammadu Buhari and convey a note from Maduro to the Nigerian leader.

Something the likes of Buhari should be doing, but instead he was busy running in Saudi Arabia

#WhatACountry!

You went to a country that the world is chastising its president and you went to be holding hands and snapping pix with the president! If you had gone their as a private person, no qualms; but you are a senator-elect of the federal republic and as such, it looks and sounds like a diplomatic mission you went for! The interest of this country may not be in alignment with the current president but that is none of your concern!

I don't know how these guys reason at all! Are they really this daft? We lack patriotic leaders in this country, those who will place the interest of the country above their own personal interest.

But then again, what do we even gain in this hell-hole of a country that will warrant any of such loyalty?
