Orji Uzor Kalu, former Governor of Abia state, has challenged Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrested Olusegun Obasanjo, former president of Nigeria, for allegedly misappropriating $16billion meant for the power sector.

Speaking to journalist on arrival at a private hangar at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Wednesday.

Kalu said, Obasanjo wants to control every sitting president and remain relevant for life.

In his words, “He brought corruption to government in 1999, Atiku who is good now, was bad to him before. No one is good to Obasanjo. He wants to remain relevant for life, this is his character. This same Obasanjo squandered over $16 billion on the power sector.”

“The EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, should do his job and bring up all petitions written about Obasanjo. I challenge him to do so,” he added.

Okay Nigeria had earlier reported that Kalu knocked on Obasanjo during the APC presidential rally held in Aba, Abia State, on Tuesday, January 29.
