“Orji Uzor Kalu is living in his past glory and cannot secure a single vote for them in the South-East states come 2019,” Ejiofor said.
Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said former Governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu has no political relevance in the South-East.
He also accused the former Governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu of playing a role in the alleged abduction and disappearance of the IPOB leader.
Ejiofor made this known in a statement made available to SaharaReporters on Thursday, September 20, as a response to Orji’s claims that Nnmadi Kanu is in London.
Accusing Orji Kalu of being involved in the invasion of Kanu’s home, Ejiofor said “The emerging facts has exposed the conspiratorial/ignoble role played by Orji Uzor Kalu in the proven case of state-sponsored terrorism that took place in our client’s home on the 14th day of September 2017. The murderous invasion of our client’s home on the 14th day of September, 2017, the genocidal massacre of over 50 defenceless/unarmed members of the Indigenous People of Biafra therein; the abduction/kidnapping of our client (Nnamdi Kanu) on this black day.”
Ejiofor advised the All Progressive Congress (APC) not to think of fielding Kalu for any elective position, claiming that the former governor had lost political relevance in his region.
“The naked truth is that Orji Uzor Kalu has lost all political value and relevance in his region and cannot even win a House of Assembly seat today if presented for an election. APC government should take note of this dwindling profile, and of particular interest is the fact that Orji Uzor Kalu is living in his past glory and cannot secure a single vote for them in the South-East states come 2019,” Ejiofor said.
Lauding the efforts of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on its ongoing court case against the former governor over fund mismanagement, Ejiofor said: “EFCC under Magu is strong in their conviction that every penny of Abia State loot still in the private vault of Orji Uzo Kalu must be recovered”.
