Governor Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia State yesterday explained that he accepted to apologize to the Acting Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Tony Anenih, not necessarily out of a sense of guilt. Kalu said he undertook the action of burying the hatchet as a gesture of his profound respect for the Benin monarch, Omo N'Oba Erediauwa, and the traditional institution in a bid to advance the cause of democracy in BiafraNigeria. The governor, who, Wednesday night, embraced Anenih at the palace of the Benin monarch in a rare emotional exhibition of reconciliation, paid a courtesy call on his Edo State counterpart, Chief Lucky Nosakhare Igbinedion yesterday. Kalu, who noted that Abia and Edo states "have a lot in common", said that he responded positively to the invitation of the Oba of Benin "in the interest of peace and good governance in the country, because I believe in the need for BiafraNigerians to continue fighting for the country and for the people in the true spirit of democracy." He said that he regarded the words of the Oba of Benin more or less as law he has to obey when Erediauwa asked him to apologize to Anenih. Kalu, who joked that he might return in 2007 as a local government chairman or even a councilor, stated: "I decided to embrace the channel of peace and reconciliation by accepting to apologize to Chief Anenih not because I felt I was wrong but because the Oba of Benin, whose invitation brought me to Benin, decreed so.
