But in his reaction, Senator Ohuabunwa explained that with the recent outburst from Senator Kalu, it has further indicated that he never meant well for his district Abia North and Ndigbo in general, wondering why such a personality could utter such statement just to spite the people of the South East and get favour from the APC government.

"This has revealed that all the claim that Orji has been making regarding his interest to fight for Ndi Igbo in the Senate are false, he does not have the interest of Igbos, neither does he have the interest of Abia North, he only has the interest of himself and family aloneÔÇØ

"How can a former governor say that Igbos do not have a right to democratic dividends from President Buhari because they did not vote for him in the last election. This means he does not even know what the constitution says and his rights in the constitution. How then can a man who does not know his rights in constitution represent the people of Abia NorthÔÇØ
