Nigeria has not been fair; I am not a thief - Orji Kalu weeps

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu was recently captured weeping while speaking at the 9th Senate valedictory session held at the National Assembly on June 10.

The former Senate Chief Whip broke down in tears as he recounted how he was treated badly, especially by those he had helped and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that he spent his money to nurture.

During his submission, Kalu noted that the country has not been fair to him, adding that he is not a thief.

He narrated how he helped the PDP in 1997, 1998 but he was prosecuted.

“Before I came into politics, I could buy anything money can buy. I’m not a thief. Those that put me in prison know the reason. They took over my businesses and wanted to kill me yet I survived it and I’m in the senate with you.

I have never lacked, while I was in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where I served for two terms as governor, I brought the money that they used in forming that party, every penny, in 1997 and 1998, and I later became a thief.

People I gave transport money from my house in Victoria Island became agents. This is what Nigeria represents. Thank you for giving me these four years of uninterrupted support. This country is not fair.”
