The Senate Chief Whip Orji Uzor Kalu
has stated that God has a reason for
sending him to prison.
According to him , he is not ashamed of
his six - month prison sentence .
The senator was reacting to remarks
attributed to Abia Governor Okezie
Ikpeazu and Senate Minority Leader
Enyinnaya Abaribe.
They claimed Kalu had not recovered
from his time in prison after he claimed
roads in Abia were either financed by
the federal government or the Niger
Delta Development Commission
( NDDC ) .
But the former Abia governor said God
allowed him to be imprisoned because
“ it is part of my life script ” .
“ This is 10 pm and I am here with you ,
can the Governor or Abaribe come
here ? That is why in leadership , you
have to be with the people you are
leading , ” Kalu said at the event held
Monday night .
“ But they don ’ t understand this simple
technique , all the projects they claim to
be doing are all on radio, nothing on the
ground . Joseph went to prison, even
Obasanjo went to prison.
:VAR(olajibson);
“ My going to prison is part of my life
script and I am thankful God allowed
it . ”
Kalu and Ude Jones Udeogu, a former
director of finance and accounts in
Abia , were charged with alleged N 7 . 1
billion fraud by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC ) .
In December 2019 , the former governor
was sentenced to 12 years in prison,
while Udeogu was given a 10 - year
sentence .
