Former Governor of Abia State and current senator for Abia North, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, has responded to claims of a political confrontation involving Abia State Governor, Alex Otti.
During a public speech, Sen. Kalu asserted that he has been unjustly targeted, despite his efforts to remain low-key and avoid conflict.
He characterized the comments and actions directed at him as intimidation attempts, reaffirming his position as a significant player in Nigerian politics.
Sen. Kalu also mentioned President Bola Tinubu, whom he referred to as a democrat, indicating his faith in Nigeria’s democratic principles and the right to free speech.

It is worth noting that a few weeks ago, Kalu criticized projects undertaken by Gov. Otti, stating that many of the roads in the state were built during his administration and that the current government merely repainted them.
This situation has intensified discussions about political rivalry, power dynamics, and democracy in Abia State, as political alliances continue to evolve.
