“Thank God Tinubu is a democrat” – Orji Kalu speaks on alleged political intimidation by Alex Otti

Former Abia State governor and Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has reacted to an alleged political clash involving Abia State Governor, Alex Otti.

Kalu spoke during a public address, where he claimed that he was unfairly targeted despite keeping to himself and avoiding confrontation.

According to the senator, the situation worsened after Governor Otti allegedly instructed his press secretary to confront him.

“I was in my room, maintaining friendship. Otti asked his press secretary to go and fight me. Otti said he will retire us from politics. I am the lion on the streets. Thank God Tinubu is a democrat,” Kalu said.

The outspoken politician described the remarks and actions as attempts to intimidate him. He insisted that he remains a strong force in Nigerian politics.

Kalu also referenced President Bola Tinubu, whom he described as a democrat. The comment appeared to show his confidence in Nigeria’s democratic system and freedom of expression.

It will be recalled that weeks back, Orji Kalu criticised projects executed by Governor Otti.

He claimed that most of the roads in the state were constructed during his tenure. According to him, the current administration only repainted them.

The development has added to discussions around political rivalry, power struggles, and democracy in Abia State, as political alignments continue to shift.
