People in the political class are the ones fuelling Boko Haram – Orji uzor kalu
On Monday, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the former governor of Abia State, made a significant accusation, he alleged that members of the political class are fueling Boko Haram in Nigeria.
Kalu stated that these individuals are using terrorism as a tool to fight President Bola Tinubu, just like they did with past administrations.
This declaration was made during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today program.
“The political class is behind Boko Haram. They are using terrorism as a tool to fight Tinubu, just like they did with past administrations,” Kalu said.
However, when asked to clarify who he referred to as the “political class,” Kalu pointed fingers at politicians, top civil servants and wealthy business people in Nigeria.
“People in the political class are the ones fuelling Boko Haram. This is a political war,” Kalu added.
“Some of them aren’t after money, they are after power. They want to tear down the system just to grab control, and that is not how power should be acquired.
“The insecurity in Nigeria is politically induced. These individuals, politicians, businessmen, civil servants are not just seeking financial gain. They are looking to hijack political class” He stated.
