Former Governor of Abia State and Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu has threatened to lay a curse on Nigerian youths for insulting him.
Some youths had mocked Kalu over his comment on the defeat of Manchester United to Brentford on Saturday.
The lawmaker had in a post on his verified Facebook page lamented the development saying “for the first time in 84 years Manchester United suffered a heavy defeat to Brentford.
“Definitely not a good time for Man U and its fans, I hope they get back on track and on time as one can only imagine what will happen when they face Liverpool next week”.
A section of his followers, however, stormed the comment section to mock the APC chieftain saying his party will be drafted like Manchester United in the 2023 presidential election.
Reacting in a video on his Facebook page, Orji said he was very successful at 25, saying he expected the youths to approach with great ideas, not insults.
He said, “Instead of Nigerian youths to face what the business is all about, they are facing what is not the business. When we talk Man City, they should reply to the club not to be abusing a statesman like me that this is how my party will end and all that.
“We should learn. You don’t insult your elders and become successful. I don’t want to curse anybody in Nigeria because I didn’t behave like this as a youth.
“When I was 25, I was already very successful so if I see youths who should be chatting with a statesman like me that they have lots of ideas are now joking with it. It is not fair on me”.
