I housed Obasanjo after he left prison, funded him, PDP but they destroyed my businesses – Orji Kalu

Former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu has accused Olusegun Obasanjo and the PDP of betraying him despite financing the party’s early activities and Obasanjo’s political engagements, alleging that his businesses suffered after the party assumed power.

Former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of betraying him despite his financial contributions to the party’s formation.

According to P.M. News, Kalu made the allegations during Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Monday.

“I was very happy, but I became a fool before the PDP because after bringing all the money, they turned against me,” he said.

The Abia North senator claimed he financed party meetings, aircraft, allowances and other expenses to strengthen the PDP ahead of Nigeria’s return to democratic rule.

He also disclosed that Obasanjo stayed at his Victoria Island residence after leaving prison, adding that he funded his transportation and political engagements.

Kalu maintained that becoming governor was not compensation for his contributions, insisting he could have won under another party.

“They didn’t do anything for me; what I got in return was the killing of my businesses,” he lamented.
