Before I came into politics, I could buy anything money can buy

When it was time for him to speak, the Senate Whip and former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, APC, Abia North who noted that his remarks would be a little bit emotional, wept while speaking, narrating how he has been treated politically, especially by those he helped build and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that he spent his money to nurture.
Kalu started weeping at 1.19 pm, says he is not a thief. Indicted those that put him to prison, to have took over his businesses and wanted to kill him. But he survived the attempt on his life.
Accounting to him “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.
While wailing Senator Orji Uzor Kalu confessed, that Nigeria represents Betrayal, regret that the people he has been helping financially, became an instrument to destroy him.
“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.”
