Orji Kalu

Nigeria's Presidential candidates hit the campaign trail.

Allan Little talks to Orji Kalu a candidate for the presidency in Nigeria. But could allegations of corruption derail his campaign.

Like many Nigerian politicians he is hounded by allegations of corruption and the plundering of public money.

His critics accuse him of looting millions.

But the Governor of Abia state in the troubled Niger Delta wants to be president of Africa's most populous nation.

And he's running in this year's elections.
