Why some Nigerians call me a money ritualist – Senator Orji Kalu reveals

Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu has revealed why some Nigerians tagged him a money ritualist.

The former Governor of Anambra State brought members of the public to memory lane via a Facebook post on Saturday.

The lawmaker recalled that in 1982 when he purchased the latest Mercedes car, the then President Shehu Shagari was the only Nigerian who had the same.

“Whenever I drove the car, some would look at it with admiration while a few were spreading rumors that I was into money rituals.

“Unfortunately things haven’t changed much today, people still think that you wake up and make money without working for it,” he wrote.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain admonished people to stop “entertaining the blackmail” that he was in politics for money, declaring that he has lost more of it.

“After I left as governor, I stayed away from politics for 12 years. I returned in 2019 when it was obvious the zone was going into trenches and for the sake of the people.”

“The best you can do is to study people and try to be better than them. For the life we live is not for ourselves alone but for God and to then accommodate other people”, he said.
