Senator Kalu Appeals for Patience from Nigerians with Present Economic Policies

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia State has called on Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu’s administration in a bid to revive the economy

Speaking today with the Senate Press Corps at National Assembly Senator Kalu acknowledged the economic challenges facing Nigerians and urged them to give President Tinubu more time to implement reforms.

Senator Kalu, a former chief whip of the Senate and a former governor of Abia State, expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s transformation programmes to reposition the economy and restore its former strength.

“The reformations going on now have never happened in the last sixty years. No president, no president as I’m telling you has the courage to do what president Tinubu is doing now, is about courage, the man is very courageous, in fact if I’m the president, what he is doing now to reform the economy taking everything together I may not do it”he said.

Senator Kalu also appealed to President Tinubu and his economic team to quickly find immediate solutions to the suffering and hardship of Nigerians.

Reacting on the recent rumor of his death while abroad, Senator Kalu said there was nothing wrong with him, but took permission from the Senate President to study at a particular University.

“There was nothing wrong with me. I took permission from the Senate President, about seven days before the Senate close, I went to US for a little studies in one of the Universities. I paid for myself, not that anybody paid for me. I used the holiday period to do the courses in that University about democracy and the position of the economy. I did not died, I didn’t even go for any medical or anything at all at all” Senator Kalu said.
