Senator Orji Kalu, a former governor of Abia State, has stated that the current k*llings and abd#ctions occurring throughout the nation are politically motivated.
In a recent interview , Kalu made this statement. He claims that politicians funded b@ndits who carried out recent violent attacks around the nation in an effort to undermine President Bola Tinubu’s administration. He claimed that, similar to how they frustrated former President Goodluck Jonathan, these politicians want Tinubu to fail. However, he withheld the names of the purported sponsors.
‘’What we are seeing is always a routine, something that goes with the elections, and when you have an election, people will try to pressure the government in power for all kinds of things to start happening.
And you can remember when President Jonathan was here, a similar thing happened,” he said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
They put a lot of pressure on the President. And the terrorists and the bandits are orchestrated by some members of the international community and local people who really want to destabilise the government” he said
“And the terrorists and the bandits are orchestrated by some members of the international community and local people who really want to destabilise the government,” he stated.
He, however, said that President Tinubu had shown that he was equal to the task.
“But I’m sure you can see that President Tinubu is equal to the task; for the first time, you see the president cancelling all his engagements. Today is Sunday, and he faced security challenges. He faced everything about security. Those [abducted] girls will be recovered. The government is making every effort to make sure these people are recovered, and it’s because of a few announcements internationally and locally, talking about Nigeria’s insecurity. I’m sure it’s not the best of times for us.
It’s not a very good time for Nigerian people and Nigerian citizens. Our service chiefs, our security operatives have gone fully on duty to see what they can do,” he added.
