Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North, has dropped a series of political and personal bombshells in a stunning television interview on Arise TV, openly admitting to previously dealing in heavy international arms, funding the formation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and personally financing former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s movements after his prison release.
On his arms dealings, Kalu said bluntly: “I was selling guns to make money. Whether they blow up, it’s not my business.” He insisted he only dealt in heavy arms traded between countries — not small arms — and that he sold to any buyer with the financial means, confirming he supplied weapons to countries including Libya under Muammar Gaddafi and buyers across DRC, Namibia, and other nations. He said he stopped the business only after pressure from his parents.
On the PDP, Kalu claimed he was the financial engine behind the party’s formation: “I was the one funding the meetings, aircraft, paying honorariums to people.” He alleged that despite his enormous contributions, the party later turned against him. “I became food for the PDP because after bringing all the money, they turned against me,” he said.
He also revealed he housed and financed Obasanjo after his prison release, providing aircraft for the former president’s travels — adding that what he received in return was the collapse of his businesses.
The interview has since ignited fierce reactions across Nigeria’s political and security circles.
