Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has declared that the historical narrative blaming corruption alone for the collapse of the Nigerian economy is a fundamentally dangerous myth.
In a detailed assessment that has sent shockwaves through political circles, the former Governor of Abia State warned that a 66-year legacy of collective, short-sighted decisions by successive leaders has done far more serious structural damage than the simple theft of public funds.
The influential lawmaker, who currently represents Abia North in the Senate, hit out at decades of economic mismanagement, declaring that Nigeria has been brought to its knees by its own policy choices rather than a single administration or individual mistake.
