Former Abia state governor, Orji Kalu, has said if electedd Nigerian president, he will make Nigeria a “big player” in world affairs just like what he did with Enyimba FC.
The chief whip of the senate was the governor of Abia state between 1999 and 2007
An Aba-based football club, Enyimba FC, which was taken over by the Abia government after the state was created in 1991, won major trophies at the national and continental levels between 2001 and 2004, and is a major force to reckon with in football in Nigeria and Africa.
Speaking on Friday during an interview on Channels Television on what he will offer Nigeria if elected president, Kalu said: “What I’m going to be getting on the table is the stability of the country; the rebranding of the country and giving Nigerian people that confidence that they are Nigerians and giving them the motivation to move forward,”
“Nigeria to me is like a football team and I have done it in the past with the Enyimba football team and I can do it in the future because what every aspect of this country needs is just motivation.
“I know the faults, ups and downs of Nigeria. I can make Nigeria a very big team and a big player in the world affairs because when you look at my face, you see the face of Nigeria.”
