Former Abia State Governor and Chairman SLOK Group of Companies, Chief Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has given reasons why the Igbos should be aiming for the presidency in the federal republic of Nigeria rather than agitating for Biafra.
Although, in his earlier remark, the former governor did say that those agitating for Biafra are right, adding that it’s everyone’s right to agitate when they feel marginalized.
Orji Kalu made this known at his residence in Igbere, Bende LGA, Abia State while answering questions from news men who paid him a surprise visit on the 30th of November 2016.
When asked about why he left Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) political party, which was founded by him, and joined All Progressive Congress (APC), he said; “I did not join APC because of my self interest, rather, I joined the political party because of the entire Igbo cause.
“The truth is that, although I’m an Igbo man, but I love to be where other Nigerians are seated, Orji said, adding that “PPA was like a South East political party, while APC is where all Nigerians are seated”.
He said; For South East not to feel marginalized they need to be given what Nigeria have given to another zone, they need to sit up and realize their strength…. Nigeria is for everyone, not Hausa nor Yoruba is the owner, everyone belongs to the entity, but the difference is that we the Igbos are marginalizing ourselves by not being where other Nigerians are seated.
“Because if we are seated where other Nigerians are seated, we will share the same thing other Nigerians share”, the former governor added.
Speaking about Biafra, Orji Kalu said; Those agitating for Biafra, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and the members of the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) have every right to agitate for a separate state if they feel marginalized in Nigeria.
