Former Governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, has on Friday described President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war as non-selective.
According to Kalu, the President has the right to investigate how the nation’s money was spent.
Speaking with journalists during a visit to former Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, in Minna, Niger State, Kalu said people who claim the anti-corruption war is selective are biased in their reasoning.
He said:
"I do not believe that the anti-corruption war by President Buhari is selective. Someone may look at it in the perspective that it is selective because it is the people in the previous government that are involved and this is because they are the ones who handled the money during that period."Kalu also used the opportunity to call Federal Government's attention to the state of the Nigerian economy.
He said:
"I support President Buhari in the fight against corruption, but as we are fighting corruption, we should also look at the industrial base of the country. No country can survive with only politics. The economy is very important to the nation."He further urged the President to use dialogue in handling Niger Delta militancy as well as reopen all bureau de change that had been closed in the country, saying not all of them are fraudulent.
Kalu also urged Buhari to used dialogue to resolve the Niger Delta militancy.
