Orji Uzor Kalu explains the 'simple problem' of Nigeria


Former Governor of Abia State , Orji Uzor Kalu , who spoke at the Funeral ceremony of Chief James Babatunde , a fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners, admitted that things have been hard under President Buhari , but however he is leading us to the promise land.
According to the former Governor, we must all go through rough times to get everything right.
“Things have been very difficult, I agree. But my grandmother used to tell me that when a tailor gets a brand new cloth, he has to first cut it into pieces, then make it into a very fine dress.
“That is where we are today. Everybody must be crying, we’ll get it (the nation) back on course.
“We are heading to the Promised Land. Buhari is leading us to the Promised Land, but people don’t understand. There are two types of components that make democratic process – the hardware and the software.
“The hardware is what you see, such as road construction and reconstruction. The software is obedience to rule of law, accessibility to people’s mind, obedience to court order, making sure that court of competent jurisdiction’s orders are respected, and making sure that everything done in the law is totally agreeable.
“Our problem in Nigeria is very simple. People are not obeying traffic lights. Big people don’t want to obey simple rule; ‘do not cross this line’, this is the problem the country has. This is what Buhari is saying, that, ‘no, you cannot do without due process.’
“Buhari is trying to say to Nigerian people that, ‘yes I might be slow, but we have to go through a process which is internationally acceptable’. So, we are on course,” he said.
