Kalu Rates Buhari High On Insurgency, Anti-corruption War

Mr. Kalu has said that Nigerians should pray for Mr. President and desist from spreading messages of hate and division about the health of President Buhari, who he said is fast recuperating, when he visit him in London last week.

According to Kalu, his visit to London was to have firsthand knowledge of the state of health of Buhari, stressing that “I went to Washington to visit some business partners and from there stopped at London to see Mr. President who is recovering very fast.

“I am excited over the state of health of President Buhari despite the hate messages people were spreading about him. I am disappointed with the statement coming from some Nigerians about the health of Mr.  President. The messages some Nigerians have been spreading in the social media is unhealthy. I am calling on Nigerians to have a change of heart. Being a President, does not mean, you cannot be sick, the hate messages are becoming too much”.

Kalu equally congratulated the Lagos State Government on their 50 years anniversary, noting that other states should copy the template of governance where there is continuity of projects in the state.

“Since 1999, the governance of Lagos State has been the same. There is continuity of programmes and projects. The problem with other states is that their leadership needs exposure to replicate what is in Lagos. To achieve what Lagos State has done is to continue with the programmes. I commend Governor Ambode for what he has done, his giant strides are remarkable”, Kalu said.

On the recent sit-at-home order by the indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Kalu said it is wrong for people to sit at home, because it will affect the economy of the South East.

He said, though the people have a right to agitate, but called for enlightenment on the need to pursue a united country.

“Most of people may not understand what the issues are, but, with time they will soon understand. There is strength in Unity; God did not make a mistake by putting us in one country. “
