On the day I was sworn in, I took the oath first, the governor, Kalu, took the oath, after everything was done and we were to go to Okpara auditorium for lunch, I couldn’t find my vehicle. “The vehicle was given to me by the departing colonel Obi, a convoy, and we stood there, I and my wife, and we were looking, where is the convoy? Eventually, we managed to scramble into a relative’s vehicle to take us to the event centre.

This is the kind of things that people see in politics. “There are two ways to react; you lie back and take it or you strongly protest and then you are tagged a trouble maker.” Orji Uzor Kalu who is currently pushing to become senate president in the 10th assembly, is yet to comment on the allegation.
