Deputy Speaker Kalu Distances Self From Alleged Calumny Campaign Against Onyejiocha

of State for Labour and Employment, Nkiriuka Onyejiocha, saying he enjoys a healthy relationship with the former lawmaker and sister.

“Were it not for purposes of protecting the unsuspecting members of the public who may inadvertently be hoodwinked by a tirade of suprious narratives, the office of the deputy speaker would never be bothered about making a rebuttal.“What rather comes to mind is that the press conference was misdirected or at best, done without the consent of the minister who obviously would be embarrassed by it because it has the imprints of a people on a mission to infamy and perfidy.

He noted that from what is conceivably right and true, Onyejiocha is a sister whose integrity would be brutally assaulted by a group that chooses to drag her name to raising false accusations. “Besides, at the moment, Onyejiocha as a minister functions under the executive arm of government while Kalu is preoccupied with legislative duties at the National Assembly.

“Recall that Kalu has used every opportunity to seek support for Onyejiocha. It is on record that Kalu asked the leaders of Abia APC who paid him a courtesy call in August to rally round Onyejiocha even when she was yet to be made a minister. Kalu also attended her reception on the night of her inuaguration. So, one is mouth agape as to what Onyejiocha is fishing for with the outlandish and ignoble press conference.
