The Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Orji Kalu, on Thursday slammed elder statesman and former Federal Information Commissioner, Chief Edwin Clark.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Clark had taken Kalu to the cleaners, describing him as a “traitor”.
While accusing the former Abia Governor of betraying the Igbo cause, the nonagenarian said that although Kalu was one of the oldest vocal frontline politicians in the South-East, he doubted his sincerity and transparency.
He said it was surprising that Kalu did not only drop his ambition to contest the 2023 presidential election, but also declared his support for the presidential ambition of the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, from Yobe State in North East “on puerile and misinformed reasons that only South-East and North-East has not produced civilian Head of State in Nigeria.”

Responding to Clark’s criticism, Kalu, who stated that he has “great respect” for him, said it is ‘surprising that the elder statesman didn’t call the majority of other Southerners including governors working against the South-East to order’.
