Senator Orji Uzor Kalu speaking on Nigeria's love for cheap money,
Former Abia State Governor and Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said Nigerians are raising their voices against the economic policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because they are used to making easy money.

Kalu made the remarks on Tuesday while speaking with journalists at the National Assembly complex.

Asked to appraise the economy under the present istration, the Chief Whip of the Senate, who acknowledged that Nigerians are suffering due to the economic reforms, claimed that the positive effects of the reforms would be felt in two years.

He said:
“Let me be honest with you. I’m a businessman, not a politician. There are only a few things that are not happening. The indices of Mr. President’s policies might not be working down the line. People are still suffering — yes, I agree with that. But it has started trickling in at the macro level — that is, at the upper level, not the lower level. So I’m hoping that in the next 2–3 years, the President’s policies will trickle down, and Nigerians will appreciate what he’s doing.

“Since 1960, this is the first President — and I have the facts — who stopped the fuel subsidy. This is the first President who merged the dollar rates. That is why we are suffering — because Nigerians are not used to working hard. We’re used to getting easy money. People used to sit in their houses, use their phones, get dollars, and sell at very high rates.

“People sit at home, use their tank farms, collect papers, and make money. This is one President who has said: if you are ready to make money, do it the right way. If you’re not ready, then leave it.”

Speaking on the endorsement of President Tinubu for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Kalu said it is “in the interest of everyone, both in the North and the South, for Tinubu to return.”

He said:
“We don’t want this country to break. We want it to remain our country. I love Nigeria. I’m a product of this country, and I’m very proud to be a Nigerian. Many people are not proud. You see people abroad cursing Nigeria, speaking badly about the country — it’s not good. Whether you are in the opposition or the ruling party, it’s wrong to curse your President or the country. Tinubu is not the owner of Nigeria. Is he the owner?

“To you journalists, is Tinubu the owner? No. We are the owners of the country. The most he can stay is eight years. After that, we take back our country. Buhari is in Daura now — true or false? So one day, Tinubu will return to Lagos in 2031. He’ll go back.

“If you want to see him, you’ll go to Lagos. But most importantly, what Nigerians should pray for is that the President has good health and long life to complete his tenure.”

Foolish talk

Toh

Orji uzor kalu can do anything possible just to please tinubu and be in his good books

Kalu can go as far as washing tinubu's undies just to stay out of jail and remain relevant.

He is referring to developers who preferd to carry drugs around the world

Na this gas lighting of Nigerians dey pain me .

Just that the Nigerians themselves hate their chains but love their oppressors.

only failed leaders say things like this

helinues:

Need a job?

They prefer stealing, you're not left out Sir.

Where is the work that people refused to do?

HABA Papa ORJI.

SOFTLY OO B4 IPOBIDIENTS YOOTS DRAG U

They want everything to be subsidy for them.

Look at a slowpoke that has never worked in his life

Says a corrupt thief that siphoned Billions of Abia state money...!

These politicians need to he held able. Since APC took over, their level of loose talk is getting more and more ridiculous. They get embolden each time they make loose comments without repercussions.

They're now turning around to blame Nigerians for liking free money, of which they are part of those spoiling Nigerians with unmerited favor/money as they entrench their çcorruptìon.

These guys are nõtorïous for not thinking things through before opening their filthyÿ mouths.

Normal normal, people like this no suppose get good end.

They're supposed to end in pain and anguish at least to feel a bit of the pain they have caused people with their wicked and evil actions

Bitter Truth

This is one of the most useless individuals to ever lead a state in Nigeria

These are the caliber of people in the APC.

These are the kind of people that tinubu want to entrust the future of the SE to for his own political interests.

So the old men and women lamenting everyday used to sit in their houses, then use their phones to buy dollar and sell at high rates abi

In a sane country, Orji Uzor Kalu's second Generation should not talk in public or better still talk in hush tones.

Again, Orji Uzor in countries like the US, UK and EU should be in maximum prison.

The Judge that handled his corruption case had a walkover when he gullibly debited Abia State to SLOAK Group for brazen fraud.

Baba you better hide your head in the sand.
