Former Abia governor, Dr. Orji Kalu, on Thursday faulted ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to President Muhammadu Buhari criticising his poor handling of the economy and advising him not to contest the 2019 presidential election. “I am not going to talk about former President Obasanjo’s letter because I am going to make some consultations with the United States, Germany, China and the United Kingdom, then I will come back and speak on that letter. “I think Obasanjo’s letter is not in the best interest of Nigeria. According to Kalu, Nigerians have also not forgotten the $16 billion wasted on building power plants by the Obasanjo administration which yielded no result. He said it would, therefore, be unfair to the South East, South South and South Western parts of Nigeria not to support the second term bid of Buhari.
