Orji Kalu : Ohanaeze Finally Speaks Describes Conviction As Political The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) Worldwide has described the conviction of the former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu by federal High Court in Lagos over corruption charges as political, wondering why only Christians are the ones being convicted in corruption-related charges. The group in a statement made available by the Deputy President General, Comrade Obinna Achionye described Kalu, the Chief Whip of Nigerian senate as the Nelson Mandela of Nigeria. The statement added that the group appreciates the role Arewa Youths led by Yerima Shettima is playing in securing the freedom of the federal lawmaker. It called on those behind the travails of Kalu to immediately hands-off, wondering why those who have held various political positions across the country are walking as free men even after allegedly committing various crimes. Read full release below (1) Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had alerted Igbos that the political travails of Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is more political than Corruption charges, We appreciate the role of Arewa Youths led by Yerima Shettima is doing in championing for the Northern Intervention to secure the Release of Senator Kalu. (2) OYC Commend Kalu pan African leadership qualities, he remains the Mandela of Nigeria, definitely, he will replicate South Africa’s version of the political journey of Igbos to be Nigerian President of Igbo Stock, Igbo Youths had to plead with those behind his travails to hands-off, if many people who were in charge of governance at various political positions, who had committed various crimes are free-roaming about, Sen will be free soon. (3) OYC observed that its only Christians were being Convicted in the fight against corruption, Former Governors, Joshua Daiyre, Jolly Nyame, Orji Uzor Kalu, etc, We are not against the fight against Corruption by EFCC, but it should be without being biased…OYC Commend Kalu for being steadfast in the face of Persecutions. https://abntv.ng/2020/04/just-in-orji-kalus-travail-more-political-than-corruption-charges-ohanaeze-youth/

Well, most Igbos are happy with the conviction. The problem the Igbos usually have with such conviction is that such justice doesn't go round. The question will be; what happened to his governor colleagues from 1999-2007. Na only him and jolly Nyame waka come? That's when you start hearing Igbos defending "their son" since the other people's sons cannot be touched for the same offense. Nigeria cannot grow an inch without equal justice, effective reward and punishment system. Truth! 2 Likes 1 Share |

I am Igbo from Ebonyi and I'm happy with the conviction/jailing. I pass through Abia state to Akwa Ibom for school and the shiiit in Abia state sinks to the heavens. If it were in military junta period I'll hail him to be decapitated or sentenced to firing squad for crimes against humanity. He should count himself lucky he'll some day be free. Ohanaeze are a bunch of elders stretching their red caps to beg for cash and hail the highest giver. Clowns. 3 Likes |

Imagine what this Anambra man are saying...we from Abia state are happy with his conviction in fact the years they gave him was very small. An Anambra person that not step his foot on Abia state can't decide our future. Anambra people should face their own state they should stop poke nose at what is happening in Abia state. 1 Like 1 Share |

OYC should stop embarrassing Igbos. Yes admittedly there is a political undertone to Orji Uzo Kalu's travails, but one thing is certain he looted the state with reckless abandon. I remember when he and his mother were Demi gods in Abia state, they planted the evil seed in Abia state's politics that has made it a caricature among other south Eastern states, and by extension Nigeria. Besides, Orji Uzor Kalu played selfish politics that was not in the interest of Igbos, I remember when he insulted our collective sensibilities by saying he has donated land for RUGA in Abia State, what an affront? He should enjoy he's stay in Kuje prisons. Rubbish. |

The imprisonment of Sen Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK) is purely political ochestrated by a Southern politician because of 2023. Any thing that stands in the way is bulldozed down. Check the role OUK played during the election of principal officers of the National Assembly. He was outspoken & vociferous in making sure the South East did not loose out in both chambers. Sen OUK is in prison today because he is being seen as one of the obstacles for the realization of the 2023 ambition of the said man. Sen OUK's corruption case is used as a cover up; 2023 is the main reason for imprisoning him. |

johnmartus: Oga you are not from Abia state . You are not even an Igboman. There have been prove of a thread where you said you ordered your caretaker to refund money to a tenant simply because he is an Igboman. YOU ARE A YORUBA MAN Your hatred for Igbo will consume you, becareful with yourself and be proud of your tribe. You can never be Igbo. Admin this guy is an impostor and a tribal bigot. 4 Likes

0m0nnakoda: Cover which tracks? All the past and present governors, maybe with the exception of Yaradua, Obi and a few others has huge and straight forward case files with EFCC and ICPC. Your case is only activated based on your relationship with the man in power, ambition, religion and ethnicity. Just so you know again, I am happy with the conviction. |

Nuzo1:I am sorry to say you are not being objective why Obi, who said he is clean ?Have you seen the files? So Orji Kalu had a bad relationship with Goodluck Jonathan? Does Saraki have a good relationship with Buhari? Does Kwankwaso have a good relationship? Does Uduaghan have a good relationship? |

Orji Uzor Kalu, Tinubu and Atiku, used to be my political heroes in the days of Obj, when Obj was behaving like a bull in China shop. I lost faith in him when I later found out his atrocities. As far as corruption is concerned, he is not alone. Please what is the position of the case of Abdullahi Adammu and zDanjuma Goje? These are corrupt Ex Govs, whose cases have stayed longer than Orji's case and may likely be swept under the carpet. |

Re: Orji Kalu : Ohanaeze Finally Speaks, Describes Conviction As Political by Nuzo1(m): 9:53pm On Apr 03, 2020 |
0m0nnakoda: You were so quick to pick obi while you overlooked the first name yaradua. Maybe, you do not know well, i don't defend people for defending or condemning sake. Take time to go through my posts if you can. EFCC's records are not too difficult to access regarding obi, yaradua and maybe Donald Duke. Matter of fact, Nuhu Ribadu listed out almost all the names of the the ex governors with hard evidence in a senate plenary session some years back. All except yaradua, Duke and maybe 2 others were not alleged to have stolen. And which ex governor didn't have a bad relationship with either obj, yaradua and GEJ? |

0m0nnakoda: That is one problem with yorubas... Very hateful Peter Obi and Yar adua were the few governors without dent. Before leaving office, Obi went to efcc's office and presented every controversial documents his detractors could have used against him in future. They gave him a clean bill. If your village people praise drug peddlers and install them as king makers, we don't. Obi is clean! argue with BAT. 5 Likes 1 Share |
