Former Abia State Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, yesterday, said those fighting against President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid were mostly public treasury looters.Kalu, who was speaking in Katsina State during a two-day visit, said there were elements bent on frustrating Buhari’s re-election bid, but that their effort would not come to fruition.He said a prominent figure from the southern part of the country was among those spearheading the fight, but that Buhari’s noble cause would prevail at end of the day.
He said the president had “performed excellently in various sectors especially in addressing the problem of corruption” which had given the county a bad name for many years.The former governor was in the state as part of his sensitization for the actualization of another term for the president, an effort he was making through the National Movement for the Re-election of Buhari.
