The National President Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) the Apex sociocultural Youth organization of Igbo Race worldwide Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka has described Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North and formerly Governor of Abia State, as a “Kitchen Slave” in Nigeria’s political hierarchy.
Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka made this statement in response to questions regarding the viral video in which Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu explicitly states, “We don’t want this country to break, we don’t want the country to break. We want the country to continue being our country, I love the country I am a product of this country, and I am very proud that I am a Nigerian”
In a reaction to the above controversial statement made by Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka stated thus; “Sadly, in today’s Nigeria, mainly in Igbo land, Orji Uzor Kalu does not possess the requisite integrity to represent or speak for Ndigbo, seemingly motivated by a desire to gain favor with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for personal advantage.
Orji Uzor Kalu improperly used the phrase “we don’t want Nigeria to break”. What individuals are part of this “we”? Who is Orji Uzor Kalu speaking for?
As the representative of Abia North Senatorial District, does Orji Uzor Kalu’s statement “we don’t want Nigeria to break” reflect the views of Abia North?
Indeed, over fifty million Igbo youths, whom I represent under the auspices of Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC), are advocating for Biafra or a separate nation for Ndigbo. Consequently, the Indigenous People of Biafra, led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, have been demanding a referendum in Nigeria through a non-violent movement.
I challenge Orji Uzor Kalu to convene a constituency briefing in his Senatorial District, Abia North, and include an option A4 vote to determine whether Abia North desires Nigeria’s continued unity or separation.
If Orji Uzor Kalu wins the election, I will take immediate action to relinquish my Nigerian citizenship and enter into compulsory exile. In contrast, if the opposing faction in Abia North Senatorial District, which seeks Nigeria’s dissolution, emerges victorious, Orji Uzor Kalu will be held accountable for his alleged transgressions.
Orji Uzor Kalu, what is the rationale behind Nigerian unity when non-native groups, notably the Fulani, engage in ethnic cleansing and jihadist wars against indigenous tribes, causing devastation in the Middle Belt and beyond, even affecting Enugu and Ebonyi State? Does this segregation foster an environment conducive to national unity?
I question Orji Uzor Kalu, can these sets of political profiteers, prodigality masquerading at the corridor of power in Nigeria, cheap political ” Kitchen Slaves” to western power navigate the route of survival to Nigerians?
Since Orji Uzor Kalu’s controversially rigged into the Senate, allegedly facilitated by INEC, he has not convened a constituency briefing to gauge the living conditions and economic hardships of Abia North residents.
To be a representative of the people is not merely about making sycophantic speeches on camera like Orji Uzor Kalu, but rather to engage with the constituents to understand their concerns, needs and expectations, and to advocate for them at the Nigeria national assembly.
Orji Uzor Kalu has not held a constituency briefing in Abia North to ascertain the actual problems in that constituency.
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s assertion that he is a product of Nigeria is misleading, as his 8-year governorship of Abia was marked by corruption, ineptitude, and reckless spending. In fact he’s the most prodigal Governor in Abia State.
Igbo man to rise in national politics, Senator Rochas Anayo Ethelbert Okorocha (Owelle) should have become the President of Nigeria.
It is essential for every Igbo “Kitchen Slave” in Igboland like Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, to learn from history in order to avoid the risk of returning home in disappointment and shame.
It’s very easy to use legs and walk across the Atlantic Ocean but it’s a life threatening task and a risk to be an Igbo man in Nigeria.
We will monitor the situation closely until Nigeria ultimately reaches a breaking point or loses total stability. Today Nigeria is already like a ship severely hit by a tornado.
