Discloses why his relationship with Obasanjo collapsed, promises to groom younger Nigerians for leadership Recalls financing PDP’s formation, how party members turned against him By Henry Umoru, Abuja Chairman Senate Committee on South East Development Commission (SEDC), Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, APC, Abia North, has revealed how former President Olusegun Obasanjo betrayed his agreement to serve one term and to subsequently hand over to the North.
Kalu has, however, revealed an account of an alleged political understanding involving Obasanjo and former military president Ibrahim Babangida ahead of the 2003 presidential election. The former Abia State governor, who spoke on why his once cordial relationship with Obasanjo eventually collapsed, disclosed that their disagreement was rooted partly in what he described as an agreement that Obasanjo would serve only one four-year term before power returned to the North. According to him, the understanding was reached during a meeting involving himself, Obasanjo and Babangida at Obasanjo’s residence in Ota, Ogun State, stressing that the arrangement was intended to accommodate the political circumstances surrounding the emergence of Obasanjo in 1999, following the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election. The former Senate Whip spoke on Monday night during an exclusive appearance on Arise PrimeTime, the flagship evening current affairs programme of Arise News Television, anchored by Charles Aniagolu.
