DR. ORJI UZOR KALU
AND HIS INDEFENSIBLE
POLITICAL FALSEHOOD:
It is easy to initiate a lie or falsehood in any human endeavour, but impossible to turn a lie into a defensible truth. This is what Dr. Orji Uzor Kanu, a former governor of Abia State, and a present day senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is suffering today, in trying to explain away the Biafran project. In his first outing, Orji Kalu said, "Ojukwu told me, a second Biafran war is not necessary," as he quickly changed in his second ranting that, "Ojukwu to him that, a second agitation for Biafra is not necessary. "Yet, in another alleged false menu, he claims that, "President Tinubu had assured him of an Igbo presidency,"
Having stated the above, the writer deems it proper to equally present the full gist of Dr Orji Uzor Kalu's narrative, which reads as follows; "I acknowledge that Nigeria has not been fair to the Igbo people. However, that alone is not enough reason to fight against Nigeria in the name of Biafra—especially now that President Tinubu has assured me of an Igbo presidency. It would be ungrateful of me to support the breakup of Nigeria after all the benefits I have received from the country,” — Orji Uzor Kalu
From Orji Uzor Kanu's present treatise, one can easily deduce that he is either illogical or deliberately dubious in his defense for a country he says had not been fair to Igbo people. There is no gainsaying the fact that, the Igbo nation has been subjected to untold hardships and inhuman treatments by the Nigerian successive governments, of Yoruba- Hausa-Fulani, which Dr. Kalu has been a prominent functionary.
If one may ask, as a former governor of Abia State, what positive impact in the state could be traced to the eight years of federal allocation received during Dr Orji Uzor Kalu's two terms in office? As a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in today's political dispensation, can Abia people point to any tangible project that Orji Uzor Kalu had done in his senatorial zone?
If all the aforementioned are but window-dressing, who then is not fair to the Igbo people, Nigeria, or Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and the likes? Probing further, Orji Uzor Kalu's madness for "one Nigeria" may have been informed by the perceived consequences of his betrayal of Indigbo in the Nigerian State, when the Biafran government takes over power. Yes, the Biafran administration will be hard on all betrayers or saboteurs of the Biafran struggle. And, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu should note that, this will never be compromised, unless they repent now.
Furthermore, a quick revision of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu's alleged falsified paper tract would help bring his hidden agenda and inconsistency to light. In his words,..."Nigeria has not been fair to the Igbo people. However, that alone is not enough reason to fight against Nigeria in the name of Biafra,...readily shows that Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is a willing, and helpless slave of his slave masters, who he wants Ndigbo to perpetually serve as second class citizens, simply because he feels favoured by those who are robbers of the inheritance of his own people. In continuation, Senator Kalu says he would not give up his inordinate ambition of "one Nigeria,... "especially now that President Tinubu has assured him of an Igbo presidency, which equally, demonstrates his inability to learn from history, the unfaithfulness of people of the extraction of the person he claims assured him of the "so called" Igbo presidency, probably with no memory of Ojukwu-Awolowo agreement that later became the major Igbo nightmare in Nigeria.
Finally, Dr. Kalu beggerly submits that, it would be ungratefulness on his part to support the breakup of Nigeria after all the benefits he had received from the country,” Now observe Orji Uzor Kalu's inconsistency and bareface hypocrisy. A moment ago, Orji Uzor Kalu expressed his displeasure of Nigeria not being fair to Igbo people, now he talks of his benefits from the same country, and so reveals the benefits he receives from Nigeria for betraying Ndigbo. WHO IS FOOLING WHO?
