….Orji Kalu’s rice not from FG
The Sen. Orji Kalu Media Office says the 30,000 bags of rice and cash donated by the senator to 13 villages in Igbere community is not part of Federal Government palliative.
The office stated this in a statement Mr Emmanuel Odoemelam in Aba on Monday.
“The Senate Committee Chairman made the gesture out of his magnanimity as such has lasted since 1986 before he joined politics.
“He personally supervised the sharing formula of the largesse to make sure no group was short- changed.
“The palliatives were personally funded and not from federal government,” he said.
He said that Kalu had the human heart to make the lives of his constituents worth living.
“He is doing everything possible to reduce the pressure of the harsh economic situation on his constituents,” he said.
He advised those making such insinuations to cease but appreciate commitment toward enhancing the people’s wellbeing.
“When it is time to share constituency projects, such will be announced publicly.
“Kalu is a detribalised global citizen who thinks of humanity first as all categories of persons have felt his impact as a senator,’’ he said. (www.nannews.ng)
