Orji Kalu Cancels Trip To Spain
“I was
invited by an Igbo group in Spain to attend their function; I could not go
because of the interaction with my constituents.”
The Igbere born former
governor of Abia State and sitting senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has cancelled his
trip to Spain after members of the Indigenous People of Biafra in Germany
attacked former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, on Saturday.
Kalu
however, said his decision to ditch the trip was not to avoid assault from
members of IPOB.
In
statement on Monday, Kalu explained that he has been in his country home,
Igbere, interacting with members of his constituency since the National
Assembly went on recess.
The
lawmaker said he had held several meetings with the people of Abia North at his
residence in Igbere.
The
statement reads, “I have been in my country home interacting with people from
my constituency and settling disputes.
“The
news that I suspended my planned medical trip abroad is not true.
“I
was invited by an Igbo group in Spain to attend their function, I could not go
because of the interaction with my constituents.”
