Turning politics to family affair, netizens knock Orji Kalu as daughter follows his footsteps

The Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Orji Kalu, has unveiled his daughter, Neya Kalu, who he claims is now following in his footsteps.

Kalu shared photos with his daughter, whom he described as a mogul, as she accompanied him to the National Convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Abuja on Saturday.

According to him, it is through leaders like her that we can truly align the government’s development agenda with the practical needs of the private sector to better serve the Nigerian people.

He said, "There is no greater joy for a father than to see his child not only follow in the footsteps of service but to carve out their own path of excellence.

"I was immensely proud to have my daughter, Neya Kalu, by my side at this year’s APC National Convention. As a 'Mogul' in the private sector, Neya has continuously stepped into the gap for me, bringing a fresh, industrial perspective to the table.

"Her presence in the executive box with our nation’s leaders was more than just a family moment; it was a strategic bridge. It is through leaders like her that we can truly align the government’s development agenda with the practical needs of the private sector to better serve the Nigerian people.

"Neya, thank you for consistently making me proud and for your unwavering commitment to our nation’s growth. The future of Nigerian industry and policy is in capable hands."

Reacting, one Segun Henry said, "Turning politics into a family affair."\

Also, Vincent Kwaha said, "They're bringing their children to replace them while they're sharing rice with the poor."

Chukwuemeka Emyrald Ani said, "Ọ sị nọ carve out? Carve out or grab it? When you people go into your room, do you actually think about the people outside your family? If you're so proud of your achievements, why do you need to be in power after 24 years?"
