Tinubu is bold, sincere & committed to reverse hunger in the country —Senator Orji Uzor Kalu
Former Abia State governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has insisted that President Bola Tinubu is aware of the hunger in the country and was taking bold decisions to reverse it.
He made the disclosure at Ekoli, Edda Local Government Area of Ebonyi during a New Year visit to his ‘political son’ Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, who is the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman.
The Senator said Tinubu is working hard to reverse the situation and urged Nigerians to be patient with him.
“Nigerians are hungry, the president knows they are hungry but he is working because the decision he is taking today is a decision that goes with economic development.
“It might be very hard that he is taking those decisions, they are very hard decisions.
“The president is very bold to take such hard decisions.
“I might not be bold enough to take such decisions if I was the president as he is telling Nigerians that we should start afresh.”
Kalu noted that he was personally sad over the situation but urged Nigerians to show understanding. “We would soon see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
He commended Governor Francis Nwifuru for his performance and endorsement of Emegha for second tenure as the state APC chairman.
“I am very happy with Ebony governor, in fact, I am planning to go and see him and also carry these Chinese investors to him. I cannot stop thanking the governor,” Kalu said.
Kalu remarked that his visit to Okoro-Emegha was an annual one, stressing that it fosters the relationship with his political son.
“I promised Okoro-Emegha that as long as God gives us life, I will always pay this new year visit.”
Emegha thanked Kalu for the visit , noting that the bond between them will continue waxing strong. He was an aide to Kalu when he was the Abia Governor between 1999—2007.
