Owu tussle: Kingmakers shun Obasanjo again From Kayode Ajibola, in Abeokuta The Abia State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has denied allegations by one Mr. Chijioke Okoro, that he and his mother, Elder (Mrs.) Eunice Uzor Kalu, took aides to the Okija shrine to swear to oaths of allegiance. In a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Mr. Onuoha Udeala, Governor Kalu stated that he does not know the person making the allegations neither has he ever taken any of his aides – former and serving – to any place to swear to any form of oath. According to him, “the only person I have with me who bears the name Okoro is Isaac Okoro, an Assistant Superintendent of Police. In our state, nobody has been killed politically since we came to power, not even a fight after a political meeting. Nobody has gone to anybody’s home to make trouble for political reasons. I don’t encourage such and I will not tolerate such. I am a man of peace.” Okoro had accused the governor in a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, Tafa Balogun that he also master-minded series of killings in the state. He challenged the petitioner and his sponsors to produce evidence and urged the police high command to launch a full-scale investigation to get to the root of the matter which he noted is part of an obviously master-minded and orchestrated grand campaign to malign him and rubbish his image and reputa-tion. Said he, “the only shrine I know in my life is the shrine (Grotto) of the Virgin Mary, revered in the entire Catholic Church. I am a devout Christian, God-fearing and I wish to state categorically that I do not have any business with the Okija shrine. I challenge the accuser to make available to the police, his letter of employment, identity card, payslip and other such accoutrements of legitimate employment to substantiate his claims.” TO NEXT NEWS PAGE...
