The Senator representing Abia North, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa has described the words attributed to Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu regarding the erosion ravaging Isuikwuato as common lies.

Orji Uzor Kalu who recently reacted to an allegation of diverting One Hundred and Fifty Million Naira allegedly given to him by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to fix the ogboro erosion along Isuikwuato/Uturu road during his time as governor, has denied the allegation and described Senator Mao Ohuabunwa as a drowning man.

Dr. Frank Osita who spoke for Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu to another online news platform, explained that during Kalu’s time as governor there was no erosion along Isuikwuato/Uturu road.

In a swift response, Special Assistant to Senator Mao Ohuanunwa, Uche Okoli fired back at Abia State former governor describing him and his media aide as common liars.

“It is either OUK has memory loss or his media aide has deliberately decided to embarrass the former governor. How on earth will the former governor say during his time there was no erosion along Isuikwuato/Uturu road? Was he not the one that led former president Olusegun Obasanjo to the Ogboro erosion site along Isuikwuato/Uturu road? Has the former governor lost all form of decency to the point of denying erosion which actually started escalating during his time in power?”

“The senator does not have time replying to common liars like this, thank God Isuikwuato elders are alive and they can see how the APC senatorial candidate has denied them their right during his time as governor and he is also claiming that there was no erosion in Isuikwuato during his time”

“For us, the distinguish senator is doing everything to bring smiles on the faces of Isuikwuato people. As at this moment, the erosion is been assessed by necessary federal government agencies and a lasting solution will come. The senator has also called on NEMA and other agencies to provide relief materials for communities affected by the erosion” he concluded.
