Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has assured that President Bola Tinubu is taking bold decisions to reverse hunger in the country.
Kalu spoke on Thursday at Ekoli, Edda Local Government Area of Ebonyi during a New Year visit to his ‘political son’ Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, who is the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman.
He stressed that Tinubu was aware of the hunger ravaging Nigerians and urged Nigerians to be patient as the president was working hard to reverse the situation.
“The president is currently taking hard decisions centred on economic development.
“The president is very bold to take such hard decisions.
“I might not be bold enough to take such decisions if I was the president as he is telling Nigerians that we should start afresh,” he said.
Kalu who is a former governor of Abia State noted that he was personally sad over the situation but urged Nigerians to show understanding.
“We would soon see the big light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.
The Abia senator remarked that his visit to Okoro-Emegha was an annual one, stressing that it fosters the relationship with his ‘political son’.
“I promised Okoro-Emegha that as long as God gives us life, I will always pay this New Year visit,” he said.
Emegha in his remarks thanked Kalu for the visit, noting that the bond between them would continue to wax strong.
Okoro-Emegha was an aide to Kalu when he was the Abia governor between 1999 and 2007.
