Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK) sobbed while addressing at the 9th Senate valedictory session held today, June 10, at the National Assembly.
Kalu, who served as Senate Chief Whip and represented Abia North in the House, spoke during the ceremony about how he was treated politically, particularly by those he helped create and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on which he spent his money.
The former Abia state governor stated that this country is unjust.
"Before I came into politics, I could buy anything money can buy. I’m not a thief. Those that put me in prison know the reason. They took over my businesses and wanted to kill me yet I survived it and I’m in the senate with you.
"I have never lacked, while I was in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where I served for two terms as governor, I brought the money that they used in forming that party, every penny, in 1997 and 1998, and I later became a thief.
"People I gave transport money from my house in Victoria Island became agents. This is what Nigeria represents. Thank you for giving me these four years of uninterrupted support. This country is not fair."
