Former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu finally spoke on the current agitation forvBiafra, he affirmed that the right of the Igbo had been fixed in the United Nation’s charter, which gave them the full right to ask for a secession if they were no longer comfortable in living together as one country called Nigeria.

Kalu made this known while speaking with newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.

Kalu said: “Those boys are right, they have a right to demonstrate, but not violent demonstration, not killing soldiers because if I am a Commander- in -Chief, and you kill one of my soldiers, I will kill everybody. You cannot kill soldiers. You cannot kill police. You have a right to say no, we want our own Republic. The United Nations charter gives them the right to ask for self-determination. It is not a right of determination to go and destroy people’s properties, to go and destroy Nigerian Armed Forces, whether it is Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy or Nigerian Police. These are not the rights. They have the right to speak for self-determination. This is the full right.

“If I am president, I will set up either traditional rulers and some political leaders to go and ask the boys what they really want, what is really their problem, what can be done to stop them from asking for this. This is how Boko Haram started killing members of Catholic Church, and as a Catholic, I spoke vehemently against it. I told you airport correspondents that they will finish killing the Catholic and will go and start killing everybody and it happened.

“When kidnapping just started, then I was governor, they were kidnapping white people and I spoke out. I said when they finished kidnapping white people and there were no more white man to kidnap, they would start kidnapping us and that is what is happening in the country today.

“So, I will advise the Federal Government. This is a federation, you need to manage the federation. Some people must ask for self-determination. It is the management of the people that matters. President Buhari, as a matter of fact, should set out traditional rulers, set out people, set out securities and intelligent agencies to intervene. They should be more intelligent than policemen or military people carrying guns. They should find a way and tell the boys that what they are doing is not the right thing to do. So, it is left for the Federal Government. This is the right time to nip the agitation in the bud, but not by force. It is a wrong strategy hearing people saying that we will quench it by force. We cannot quench anything by force because it is their right to ask for self- determination.

“But is it the right thing to do in a bigger country like ours? It is only a president that doesn’t know what he wants that will want a section of his country to go. I think negotiation is part of democracy . I have seen your Enugu-Port Harcourt, Aba-Umahia express road that have not been built, I will build it in two years, I have seen your Awka-Onitsha express way that is not built, I will build it in two years, I have seen that your Umuahia-Ohafia to Aruchukuwu to Cross River express way is not built, I will do it. I have seen that your Arondizuogu-Okigwe express way is not done, I will do it. I have seen your Enugu to Makurdi express way is bad, people are dying there every day, which was what I quarreled with the government over it in 2001.

“I said our roads are bad. Federal roads are very bad and they are taking it for granted. Check what I have said ten years ago, they are reoccurring today and the government is still playing with it, people are still doing politics with it,” he stressed.

Will Rochas think that way?

hook on the throat of anti-Biafrans.

Right for self determination should be pursued through

peaceful means and not by violence.

Confusion of interest

Correct

CHILDREN OF ANGER AND VENOM, FOOD DON DONE O

Ohh, he said "this is how Boko Haram started" and failed to say where that has led the North East.

If the SE have decided to turn their land into another Bornu and Yobe, so be it.

Those boys are right, they have a right to demonstrate, but not violent demonstration, not killing soldiers because if I am a Commander- in -Chief, and you kill one of my soldiers, I will kill everybody. You cannot kill soldiers. You cannot kill police.- Orji Kalu

I hope jobless IPOB youths are listening.

Bigprozzie:


I hope jobless IPOB youths are listening.

phuk yaaa!! biafra listens to no politician... IPOB knw wot they want not roads..Orji has indirectly told you that Nigeria has failed.. If a nation cannot do major express roads(exterior) that means don't mention interior am sorry for "one Nigeria

There is no need negotiating with anybody. If its biafra they want, give them biafra. End of story.

My people didn't see people like orji Kalu to protest and abuse!

It's buhari that is the cause of thier problem
They didn't ask orji Kalu about good roads, they didn't ask him why there are no good hopitals in abia state, didn't they see what akpabio did in near by akwaibom with oil money? They didn't ask for ultra modern market or at least a cargo port in aba

Delta state did that with oil money, kebbi state did that without qualms, other state governors at least have achievements to show

But my south east governors including orji uzor Kalu have nothing to show, yet they see the "hausa" and yoruba man as the problem

As if we are not our own problem

Great.

Why is he perambulating
Is it an act of cowardice or what??
Why goingto and fro just to say that u support Biafran movement?

kk

Orji Uzor Kalu is just contradicting himself!
Hear him:
1. You cannot kill Military men but they can kill civilians right? or is it because it was not your children that was shot at?
2. IPOB has the right to agitate but PMB can send delegates to tell them that what they are doing is not right!
3. The Federal govt. did not build federal roads? coming from an Ex Gov. of Abia State, served for 8years, who is only first to Theodore Orji now in Senate! Even roads belonging to State he could not build!
4. Aba Market was under ruins during his reign!
5. In a civilized State, People like Orji Uzor should be under lock and keys never to be heard!
It is well!

Orji Kalu Started Well But Ended Thoughtlessly. Was He Not An Ex-governor? What Do They Make Of Their Past And Present Governors And Reps? There Is No Question About Asking What They Want.., They Want Only One Thing,dont Ask Me Its 2019 Presidency.But That Would Not Fall On Their Plate Like Manner From Heaven.
No Lie Only Truth!

Cool Facts Tho I'm Igbo But if I'm Left To Choose B/W the Devil Biafra And The The Deep Blue Sea Nigeria,


I will stick to Nigeria shaaa


Quote Me And Ur Left Ball Goes On Exile

Well said Uzo Kalu.That is right.

shut up sir... thank you
