Powerful Southeast Senator drops bombshell, says 'Nigeria is at war'

The senator representing Abia north and senate chief whip, Orji Kalu, has urged the federal government to cut the cost of governance and save the country’s economic crisis.

Speaking during the review of the proposed 2023 budget at the national assembly,
the former governor of Abia state said, "We are at war in Nigeria”.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, October 7, presented a proposed budget of N20.5 trillion to the national assembly.

Orji Kalu on his part, raised concerns about the terrible state of the economy.

In a video shared on his Facebook page, Kalu noted that the government must be committed to tackling the country's economic problems.

According to him, productivity in Nigeria is at zero meanwhile, the country is consuming everything.

He urged Nigerians to invest more in agriculture so as to alleviate the economy.

“We are at war in Nigeria. The wars in the North-east, North-west, the one in the South-east- they are all wars and we have no other opportunity (to grow the economy) because our farmers are not going to their farms. There is no productivity in Nigeria. The industries’ capacities are down,” he said.
