Former Governor of Abia State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Orji Kalu, has reacted to news trending on social media that he used to kill people when he was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
According to the former governor, he was quoted out of context in an interview he granted journalists after the South East Zonal Executive Committee meeting of the APC held in Abuja on Wednesday.
Speaking from the United States of America on Saturday, Kalu said: “I did not say I used to kill people during congress when I was a member of the PDP.
“Rather, I pointed out that due to political rivalry and other vices, people used to die during congresses in the PDP.
“I am not only a law-abiding Nigerian, but a devout Catholic who does not believe in ungodly and inhuman acts.
“I have never killed anyone and will never do such or engage anyone to kill on my behalf.
“People should not twist my interview to suit their selfish, wicked and barbaric ambitions.
“I am a man of peace and I can never derail from the path of peace.”
The former governor while advising media outfits, especially online platforms, to verify information before disseminating, urged Nigerians to disregard the false, malicious and wicked news.
