A 2023 presidential aspirant, Orji Uzor Kalu, has recalled
how he ran into problems with former President Olusegun Obasanjo due to his
friendship with fellow aspirant, Bola Tinubu.
Kalu, who is the Senate Chief Whip, said his problem with
Obasanjo started after he helped Tinubu win his re-election in 2003.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain disclosed that
he stepped in to help Tinubu who was lagging behind in 2003.
Appearing on Silverbird Television on Friday, Kalu insisted
that they are both not a threat to each others ambition.
He noted that they are very close friends, with their
friendship deep-rooted.
According to Kalu: “So we are like a family and politics
cannot separate us. In 2003 when Tinubu was seeking re-election and I saw that
he was lagging behind, I assisted him and it’s part of what caused my problem
with former President Obasanjo.
“So we’re a family and we cannot quarrel because of
politics. He might have his idea on how to do it and I might have my own idea
on how to do it.
“But all I know is that if we meet at Eagle Square, I will
give a very good account of myself.”
Both Tinubu and Kalu have declared interest in the
presidential ticket of the APC.
