I Picked Abaribe From The Gutter- Orji Uzor-kalu

Former Senator Uzor-Kalu has revealed that he picked Enyinnaya Abaribe from the slums and helped to give him a spot in the limelight.
The two politicians have had a row for the past years as they have publicly dragged themselves on social media.

According to Uzor-Kalu, Abaribe was a nobody before he helped him become famous.

In his words: “I lasted exactly three years and nine months in office, before I threw in the towel. The bumpy ride ended on 7th March, 2003, when I finally resigned and switched parties. The one tenure was characterised by three attempts at impeachment. The one thread that runs through them all is that government can make no error.”

“My conspirators thought I would be President in 2023, so they decided to cut my journey short at all cost. Abaribe continued to supply petitions. But you see, these people are not God.

“They think I am ashamed to have gone to prison. I am not and I don’t blame them because they don’t know my relationship with God… Joseph went to Prison, even Obasanjo went to prison. My going to prison is part of my life script and I am thankful God allowed it.

“They are little minds and wicked people who have refused to do any project for their own people. They have kept a centre table for you and called it bridge.

“You can’t even pay common salaries and you are here swearing to God, ‘na me build this road’. The only road the state is constructing is the 600 meters road in Eziukwu which they have been building in the last six years; that’s one year 100 meters.

“Compare my village and these people’s village and you will see how shameless they are. If you can’t build your own village, is it my own you will build?”
