Monday, November 24, 2025 - The Chairman of the Senate Committee on South East Development Commission (SEDC), Orji Uzor Kalu (APC, Abia North), has said that bandits are mercenaries brought into Nigeria by politicians.
Uzor Kalu made this statement in an interview on Sunday
Politics, a programme on Channels Television
His comments come against the backdrop of the renewed
security challenges across the country.
According to him, “People are being killed in Nigeria and
you see people talk about the forthcoming 2027 elections, this and that. You
can see that all is about politics.
“These people (bandits) are partially mercenaries brought by
politicians. These people are people brought by individuals. They are centred
to destabilise the president who is ready to revamp our economy.”
When asked if President Bola Tinubu was aware of the
information he was giving, the former Abia State governor said, “Tinubu is the
president of Nigeria. He has a lot of information around him.
“As a citizen of this country I’m aware that people are sponsoring these bandits to destabilise Nigeria, but we are equal to the task. The Federal Government will challenge them.”
