Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has publicly addressed journalist Reuben Abati, thanking him for his honesty while also reminding the public of Abati’s past legal troubles. Kalu highlighted that Abati was previously in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for fraud, questioning his current stance as a moral authority.
In his remarks, Kalu urged Nigerian youths to recognize that Abati is not a "saint," emphasizing the need for accountability among public figures. His comments have sparked discussions on social media, with many users weighing in on the integrity of journalists and their roles in political discourse.
Kalu also expressed concern over why leaders from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) engage with what he termed "inexperienced journalists" on platforms like ARISE TV, suggesting that such appearances may lead to unfavorable portrayals.
The exchange has intensified conversations about media credibility and the responsibilities of public figures, as both Kalu and Abati continue to be prominent voices in Nigeria's political landscape.
