The former governor urged Governor Fayose to base his criticism on President Buhari's performance and not his health or family.
“My friend, Governor Ayo Fayose, should focus his criticisms of Buhari on performance, not on his family, not on his health, not on personal basis.
“While I was governor, we focused our criticisms on former President, Obasanjo, on performance and the interest of our people. Politics is about interest; it is not about damage to families or personal interest,” Kalu said.

He said: “I don’t like to discuss Fayose because when he makes his statements, it only reminds me of an Igbo proverb which says that if a responsible man is having his bath after a hard day’s work and he removes his dress in a local bathroom and a mad man carries the dress and the man bathing, seeing that the mad man has carried the dress, he runs out naked pursuing him, people will see two naked people running and they will say two mad men.
