He added that if voted in as a senator, he would address the sentiments of the various agitators to the benefit of all. His words: “Agitators, whether they are in MASSOB, IPOB or any other group, have their sentiments and if I get to the Senate, I will establish a proper dialogue between them and the Federal Government so that the problem will be settled amicably. “With President Muhammadu Buhari, I know, we are going to find a common ground so that justice can be done where there is injustice and the people will be happy.” Kalu, who said he started championing the Igbo cause when he was not yet in politics, added that although he would be going to the Senate to represent Abia North, he would look beyond that to continue to forge the cause of Ndigbo. The ex-governor said he could not thank the people enough for their love and belief in his person, stating that he had so many things to offer to the people of Abia North in particular and the country in general if he was elected senator. Kalu, in reaction to the ongoing Biafra protests in parts of the country, was quoted to have said recently that if he was the commander-in-chief, and one of his soldiers was killed, he would kill everybody.
