Igbo Youths Tackle Orji Kalu Over Comments On Obi.
From our Correspondent
The Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has taken the former Abia state Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to the cleaners, describing him as politically incomparable to former labour party,LP, 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The body’s reaction was coming in the wake of Kalu’s recent media outing on Channels Televission, in which he allegedly made some scathcing remarks against Obi.
In a statement issued on Sunday, in Abuja, Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka, National president of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), querried Orji Uzor Kalu’s appearance on TV to discuss Peter Obi.
The former Abia state governor was quoted during the media chat, to habe asserted that he is the most prominent,and important politician from the Southeast, having achieved more, politically than Mr. Peter Obi.
According to the statement, “Ohanaeze Youth Council said in the report that Kalu Stated “Peter is not my leader. I’m the most important politician from the South-East zone. I won two states in 2007 under the Progressive People’s Alliance,PPA.
OYC Quoting Kalu’s statement “I have run for president before. My 4.9 million votes are still there since 2007. I achieved a lot with PPA. We had ministers, ambassadors, and several appointments under President Yar’Adua”
Igboayaka urged the former governor to desist from media engagements that are causing him embarrassment, noting that Orji Uzor Kalu is unable to rival Peter Obi’s level of political influence, acceptability and popularity in the South-east and Nigeria at large.
“Orji Uzor Kalu should humble himself and endeavor to gain and learn political popularity and acceptability from Mr. Peter Obi.
“Peter Obi is a trailblazer as the first politician from Igboland, both living and deceased, to have secured victories in five Southeast states during a presidential election.
He stated that Obi has also made history as the first opposition presidential candidate to have won in Lagos and Abuja against the ruling All Progressives congress,APC.
Ohanaeze Youth Council Furthermore noted that Obi has distinguished himself as the first Nigerian politician to have built a robust nationwide supporters across the 36 states, affectionately referred to as the “Obidient Movement”.
“Peter Obi is the only politician in Nigeria who has motivated electorates to participate in voter registration. Peter Obi has become a political institution, redeeming hope in Nigeria’s electoral system and voting process.
“The Nigerian populace had become disillusioned with voting and electioneering, however, Peter Obi proved to be a political magnet, reattracting Nigerians to the voting system.
“Unfortunately, Nigeria’s political system allows mediocre ones like Orji Uzor Kalu, incompetent political shenanigans, political profiteers and looters to dance a dance of shame in our political cycle.
“In a decent and working state Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu should be moving in shame on the street with his mask.”
Comrade Igboayaka has rejected the notion from Orji Uzor Kalu that the PPA emerged victorious in two states, characterizing it as an erroneous narrative that stemmed from electoral malpractices engineered by Professor Maurice Iwu, who served as most corrupt Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the time.
Similarly, in Imo State, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), due to internal conflicts, adopted the Progressive People’s Alliance (PPA) as their platform, resulting in Ikedi Ohakim’s emergence as the winner of the 2007 Imo gubernatorial election, Comrade Igboayaka noted.
“Kalu cannot secure victory in any credible and transparent election within his home base of Abia state, the Southeast, and Nigeria as a whole”. He stated
Igboayaka who lambasted Kalu, cautioning him to prepare for his forthcoming political retirement in 2027, in light of the burgeoning ballot revolution driven by the Obidient Movement across Nigeria.
Kalu should be cognizant that Nigerians’ last hope hinges on Mr. Peter Obi’s 2027 presidential project, which will entail a defensive Ballot Revolution across Nigeria’s 36 states.
Orji Uzor Kalu must recognize that Peter Obi’s name will appear on the ballot in 2027, under any available party platform.
Furthermore, any individual or group considering electoral manipulation and rigging in 2027, should be aware that they risk plunging Nigerians into a crisis comparable to Somalia.
