EFCC should let Kalu be

Indeed, the more you fight an Israelite, the more victorious and rugged he becomes. The more you cut down an Israelite, the more he sprouts and blossoms. The more you curse an Israelite, the more success he enjoys because an Israelite is blessed by the Most High God and cannot be cursed. An Israelite is defended by God Almighty to a point that no arsenal employed against him prospers.

By the grace of God, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu enjoys those heavenly privileges. He could be likened to a tree planted by the riverside that flourishes in every situation.
Kalu is a patriotic and with his group of companies scattered all over the country, he becomes one of the biggest Nigerian employers of labour of our time, thereby reducing crime rate and tension in the country. He works daily for a sustainable development and growth of our economy. He is an epitome of peace. Therefore, it is difficult to fathom why any body or group of persons should think of doing him evil not to talk of actualizing.

It is pertinent to note that Kalu was a successful businessman before he got the mandate of his people to serve them as governor. During this period, he did not disappoint his people. Rather, he performed beyond expectation; the record of his great achievements is there for every one to see. He left Abia State hundred times better than he met it. There was uncommon atmosphere of peace in Abia State and its environs throughout his rule.

The few individuals that are having disparaging views of his regime are those that are feeling disappointed for having not served in his government and those he dispensed with their services due to unscrupulous behaviour. It was not feasible that every body must serve in his government. So, for any body to say he siphoned or stole the people’s fund is disgustingly malicious.

In view of the foregoing, I want to disagree with the EFCC conesning him. It is also unfortunate that the virtuous wife and blessed children of Kalu should be declared fugitives. What are their offences? That they should be declared fugitive is an over statement and an abuse on Abia the illustrious son whom God uses to put quality foods on the tables of many Nigerians.

They did not escape; the family has been living abroad ever before the rift between EFCC and their father. But, how can the father be put in jail for an indictment that is absolutely false, which he has already refuted?

Before well meaning Nigerians, EFCC’s obnoxious request and desire against Kalu and his happy family portray EFCC as a paid witch-hunter, which makes the commission grossly unserious in all its ramifications. But it will not achieve its purpose.
