Orji Uzor Kalu shades the heck out of Obasanjo, but made sure not to call him out directly

Former Abia state governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, has described the critics of president Buhari's administration as '' yesterday's lawless and reckless leaders of Nigeria'' .
In an apparent reaction to the recent attack from ex-pesident Olusegun Obasanjo on the Buhari-led administration, Kalu said the leaders that are criticising Buhari now never obeyed the laws of the land when they were in power.

He said the leaders who now write letters and speak out in condemnation, never responded or acted on the letters that were written to them when they were in office.
 
The former governor said this at the Ake Palace of the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, when he led a team of his advocacy group, National Movement for Re-election of Muhammadu Buhari, to visit the monarch.

“The greatest challenge of our country is leaders not obeying the law. When they are leaders, they don’t want to obey the law; when they go out of leadership, they criticise everybody who wants to obey the law. This is the problem of the country. We have had leaders who disobeyed every law of the land. We’ve also had leaders who were reckless when they were leaders and when they go out, they call people all kinds of name. We have also seen leaders that have never seen anything good in other people’s leadership, they only know about themselves. So, we want to thank you for the support…I know you are close friend of President Muhammadu Buhari and I want you to maintain that friendship; don’t allow anybody to distract you whether people from here or from my area, stay in course. President Buhari has not finished the job he came to do. If God gives him good health and long life, he has not finished. He has to go for another four years to be able to finish. Despite people who are criticising and these people also took no criticism when they were in office. Despite people who are writing letters; these people we also wrote letters to them, they didn’t reply to our own letters,” Kalu said

He urged the monarch not to relent in his support for the Buhari-led administration.

“In any democracy, there must be people for and against. We are for Buhari, some people are against and we wish them well. And we want to thank you for the key role of peace that you and other traditional rulers have been playing. Nigeria unity is non-negotiable. We are for oneness of this country, we are for leaders who are sincere to lead us well, we are for leaders who are equally committed to the rules and tenets of democracy, ” he said
