Kalu Reveals Those Fighting Tinubu With Terrorism
A former governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has alleged that people in the political class are fuelling Boko Haram in Nigeria and fighting President Bola Tinubu through it.
Kalu alleged that the political class is using terrorism as a tool to fight President Tinubu, just like they did during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
He stated this while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.
“The political class is behind Boko Haram. They are using terrorism as a tool to fight Tinubu, just like they did with past administrations,” Kalu said.
However, when asked to clarify who he referred to as the “political class,” Kalu pointed fingers at politicians, top civil servants, and wealthy business people in Nigeria.
“People in the political class are the ones fuelling Boko Haram. This is a political war,” Kalu added.
“Some of them aren’t after money, they are after power. They want to tear down the system just to grab control, and that is not how power should be acquired.
“The insecurity in Nigeria is politically induced. These individuals, politicians, businessmen, civil servants are not just seeking financial gain. They are looking to hijack political power,” he claimed.
