Former governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Kalu, has challenged
western countries to support the anti-corruption policies of the
Muhammadu Buhari administration by exposing Nigerians known to have
fleeced the country of its resources.
Kalu who is himself facing
corruption charges before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, alleged that the commission which he said was originally conceived
to fight corruption was turned into a political tool of the Olusegun
Obasanjo administration.
Kalu also faulted the approach of
pro-Biafran protagonists as faulty saying that it would not help redress
the genuine pains of Ndigbo in the polity.
He said that the
efforts of the Buhari administration may be the first genuine fight
against corruption and thus charged the west to support the
administration by providing every support that could help the
administration in its quest.
Speaking
in Washington D.C, while receiving a delegation of graduate African
students of the National War College, he appealed to the western world
to help Nigeria by exposing those Nigerians who have looted the
country’s resources to invest and buy choice properties in Europe, USA,
UAE, Asia and Middle East.
The former governor further said: “The
international intelligence agencies have a critical role to play in
fishing out those that have stolen the commonwealth of Nigerians.”
Speaking
on the pro-Biafra agitators, Kalu lamented the marginalization of the
South East in all ramifications noting that 46 years after the civil
war, the region has not been fully integrated into the Nigerian nation.
