The lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, Orji Kalu, has described a former President, Olusegun Obasanjo as a liar.
In line with him, the previous President’s latest declare that he by no means needed a 3rd time period in workplace was a lie.
Kalu advised Channels Tv’s Politics At present on Wednesday that in that interval, Obasanjo known as him to the Presidential Villa to interrupt the information of his third time period ambition to him.
Former President lObasanjo had damaged his silence on long-standing allegations of searching for a 3rd time period in workplace, firmly denying the claims.
He made the denial throughout a candid session on the 2025 Goodluck Jonathan Basis Annual Democracy Dialogue. Held in Accra, Ghana.
Addressing the rumours head-on, Obasanjo asserted that he by no means pursued an extension past his two phrases (1999–2007), evaluating it to his profitable push for Nigeria’s debt aid, which he described as a far more durable feat.
“What Obasanjo mentioned in Ghana, that he by no means needed a 3rd time period, was a lie,” Orji Kalu mentioned.
“He known as me to the Villa and advised me he needed a 3rd time period, and I advised him no.
“That’s why he began having points with me. We stopped him with the assistance of former US President Bush.”
