Senator Kalu: Being Governor Was Costly, I Financed State from My Pocket

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu said on Monday he spent his personal money to run Abia State as a governor.

Kalu stated this on Monday while fielding questions on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme.

The former governor claimed he never benefited anything as a governor.

Instead, he insisted he lost a lot of money, disclosing that the federal government under ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo took a lot of his businesses.

Kalu said: “I spend my own money being governor, like I’m spending my money today being senator. I used to finance the state. That is, I never benefited anything from being governor. Rather, I lost a lot of money. The federal government took a lot of my businesses. So for me, politics had been more dangerous under the Obasanjo federal government at the time.”
