Former Abia State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has called for the
arrest and prosecution of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, whom he
called part of Nigeria’s problems, alleging that he started active
corruption in Nigeria’s political circle.
Speaking yesterday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport,
Lagos, Dr. Kalu pointed out that he wonders why former President
Obasanjo was still walking the streets free, stressing that after the
reply of his letter by President Goodluck Jonathan, he (Obasanjo) should
have been arrested and prosecuted.
Kalu noted that the $16billion power sector fraud was done by
ex-President Obasanjo, affirming that he could not even show good
leadership as President during his tenure, adding that he used his
position to fight political enemies.
“Well, let me tell you, Obasanjo is part of the problems of this
country. The earlier he goes back to his farm the better. He caused all
the problems that we are going through. He was worse than Jonathan and
any other president of this country.
“In 1999 when he was elected President, instead of giving leadership,
he went to fight political war. The goodwill this country had, he
squandered it, and this is what we are suffering from today because if
he had given qualitative leadership without pursuing political enemies,
we would have grown,” Kalu said.
