Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu has revealed why some citizens
labelled him a money ritualist.
The former Governor of Anambra State went down memory lane
in a Facebook post.
Kalu recalled that in 1982 when he bought the latest
Mercedes car, the then President Shehu Shagari was the only Nigerian using the
same.
“Whenever I drove the car, some would look at it with
admiration while a few were spreading rumors that I was into money rituals.
“Unfortunately things haven’t changed much today, people
still think that you wake up and make money without working for it,” he wrote.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain told people to
stop “entertaining the blackmail” that he was in politics for money, declaring
that he has lost more of it.
“After I left as governor, I stayed away from politics for
12 years. I returned in 2019 when it was obvious the zone was going into
trenches and for the sake of the people.”
Noting that his return has paid off for the Abia North zone
“beyond expectations”, Kalu boasted he could resign as a senator because he
spends personal money while serving the people.
The politician added that in Nigeria, people who have done
no business except holding public office are hailed while those who have worked
hard are called names.
“The best you can do is to study people and try to be better
than them. For the life we live is not for ourselves alone but for God and to
then accommodate other people”, he said.
