Business mogul and former governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Kalu has called on western countries to join the anti-corruption crusade currently being championed by the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Kalu said the campaign would expose those who shipped Nigeria’s hard-earned resources overseas.
Kalu who is also on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, trial, alleged that the commission, which he said was originally conceived to fight corruption, was turned into a political tool of the Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
The ex-governor also frowned at the approach of pro-Biafran agitators, saying that it would not help redress the genuine pains of Ndigbo in the polity.
Speaking in Washington D.C, United States of America while receiving a delegation of graduate African students of the National War College, he appealed to the western world to help Nigeria by exposing those Nigerians who have looted the country’s resources to invest and buy choice properties in Europe, USA, UAE, Asia and Middle East.
His words, “The international intelligence agencies have a critical role to play in fishing out those that have stolen the common wealth of Nigerians.”
On the pro-Biafra agitators, Kalu bemoaned the marginalization of the South East in all ramifications noting that 46 years after the civil war, the region had not been fully integrated into the Nigerian nation.
