The Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu was on Saturday enraged in anger and disappointment over the refusal of the engine of his private jet to start, ABN TV learnt.

The former Governor of Abia state had stormed the private jet wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja where he was billed to jet out to Maiduguri, Borno state capital.

The visit according to our correspondent was connected to the wedding ceremony of the son of Kalu's bosom friend,  Dr Lawan Bukari, a  former registrar of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID).

Dr Lawan  according to reports was the Dean of Student Affairs of University of Maiduguri when Kalu was a student.

However,  Kalu's flight became stalled after one of the engines of Kalu's jets stationed to ferry Kalu and his entourage refused to start.

Our correspondent learnt that on the Pilot's advice,  the former governor and his team had to disembark from the aircraft.

Among Kalu's entourage were: Senator Abubakar Kyari, Dr Daniel Kanu, Alhaji Mustapha Habeeb, Hon. Usman Zannah, Hon. Ibrahim Bukar Mohd, Chief Mascot Uzor Kalu, Hon. Obinna Oriaku among others

Kalu was seen visibly angry as he left the airport unceremoniously  to his convoy . Airport staff who usually benefits from Kalu's generosity were also seen wearing long faces.

It will be recalled that Borno State Capital hosts the  University of Maiduguri which was attended by  Kalu and President of the Senate, Senator Ahmed Lawan where they were both roommates.

The Chief Whip's first foray into the world of business also started in Maiduguri where he engaged in the manufacturing and supplying of furniture around the state.

This man should be chilling with dem boys in Kirikiri not traveling in a luxurious jet


Incase you don't know na me talk

Government jet they spoil upon all our money they steal

Things I never cared for

He stole and was found guilty. Unfortunately, he was declared guilty by someone who the Nigerian constitution says wasn't in position to declare him guilty and hence was set free. This is Nigeria, when a thief is a member of the legislature, he provides a loophole where he and his co-thieves can escape any law, unfortunately, we have always had them in the Nigerian legislature.

Prison break senator

Lol..

Let them begin to have a taste of what they serve Nigerians.

Oga, travel by road.

Nigerian people role model!

One of the problems in the South East

Please Calm Down Oga Kalu.. Before You'll crash along with your 2023 Dreams

Should he not be thankful?

What if the jet develops such fault while already in air?

What if the audacious Boko boys mistaken the jet for a fighter jet.

What if.....

Odogwu

Why is this man touring Nigeria. He should be in jail

Really sorry about your ordeal

Nocomment.tv

I wished them go waylay this one since those Boko Haram boys just dey ginger to kill Prof. Zulum.



he is of no value to even his constituency sef.



peace maker!

okay

Dem chopping our money since 1900

You see what I always say about the fools who rule Igboland. Borno has an airport but Abia doesn't have. Yet, this convicted pickpocket ruled Abia for 8 years.

Kalu has a jet but he didn't deem it fit to build an airport in Abia state. He prefers to fly in his jets to other peoples places while his own state is in ruins.

Apart from Umahi in Ebonyi, Igboland has no hope with the present crop of leaders. Always competing in foolishness.

What if he never wanted to go to the wedding ? Because me never see when dem de start aero plane when people don already enter inside n more so, the private jet is supposed to be warming even before e approached the airport . So the story doesn’t add up

Calabar1stSon:
Nigerian people role model!

Abia people, not Nigerians.

he should be happy that it was discovered while on the land, what if the fault started on the air, a spiritual minded person would be glorifying God for giving him such a strong guardian angel

beside, how much do they sell private jet? I'll like to get one in the future for my evangelism

Hhmm
