Senator Mao Ohuabunwa has taken a quick swipe at his successor and added his voice to the wide condemnation of the recent statement made by Senator Orji Uzor kalu regarding the fate of Ndi Igbo in the current APC lead federal government.
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu who dropped the bombshell at a thank you event he organized in Camp Neya was quoted to have said “Our people did not support APC, we did not vote for the President and that is what we are paying for, therefore we are not entitled to anything when we did not vote for APC’’
But in his reaction, Senator Ohuabunwa explained that with the recent outburst from Senator Kalu, it has further indicated that he never meant well for his district Abia North and Ndigbo in general, wondering why such a personality could utter such statement just to spite the people of the South East and get favour from the APC government.
“This has revealed that all the claim that Orji has been making regarding his interest to fight for Ndi Igbo in the Senate are false, he does not have the interest of Igbos, neither does he have the interest of Abia North, he only has the interest of himself and family alone”
“How can a former governor say that Igbos do not have a right to democratic dividends from President Buhari because they did not vote for him in the last election. This means he does not even know what the constitution says and his rights in the constitution. How then can a man who does not know his rights in constitution represent the people of Abia North”
Senator Ohuabunwa however urged the good people of Abia North not to give up or lose hope from the statement, adding that soon he would reclaim his mandate at the court and return to the Red Chamber so as to continue to do what he knows how to do best which according to him, has always been in the interest of Abia North, Abians and Ndigbo in general.
