‘You can’t harass me’ – Orji Kalu clashes with Channels TV’s Seun Okinbaloye

Senator representing Abia North, Orji Kalu, clashed with Channels Television anchor Seun Okinbaloye during a live interview on Wednesday, accusing the journalist of attempting to harass him.

The exchange occurred while Kalu was responding to questions about the economic policies of the immediate past administration of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, particularly the printing of money, which has been linked to rising inflation.

Defending the current administration, Kalu argued that the previous government had also taken decisions that affected the country’s economy.

“Mind you, the previous government front loaded some of the oil. Some crude oil were sold,” Kalu said.

He added, “I don’t even know who among them will do anything better than what is being done. They printed money and we questioned them.”

As Okinbaloye continued to press him on the issue, Kalu expressed frustration with the line of questioning.

“You can’t call people here to harass them. You can’t harass me. This is no longer an interview,” the senator said.

The tense exchange came as the programme discussed the economic challenges inherited by the current administration, including the impact of the previous government’s monetary policies.
