Orji Uzor Kalu
Former governor of Abia State and chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu has called on the members of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to remain calm and law abiding as he
consults with the federal authorities towards finding a lasting panacea
to the brewing crisis in Abia State
Kalu spoke in response to the military presence in the state and
the South East and confrontations between the IPOB youths and the
federal security forces.
In a statement issued yesterday from Abuja, the business mogul said
he has been briefed about the crisis and has swiftly begun
consultations with federal authorities and leaders of the IPOB towards
bringing calm back to the region.
He described the unfolding events as very unfortunate to have
degenerated to this level happening in not just the South East region
but in his own state which he once governed for eight years.
The former governor recalled that, “in democracy every group
has its fundamental right to express their grievances but such action
must follow due process in line with the constitution of the country to
avoid breakdown of law and order.
“However, in this case dialogue remains the best solution to solving grievances.”
