The Senator representing Abia North and Chief Whip of the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu has been tipped to return back to the Senate, come 2023 based on his mid-term performance.
This was as a professor of Law at Abia State University, Prof. Eme Agha Ndukwe commended the vision and determination of Kalu to reposition and transform Abia North for greatness.
Speaking with newsmen on Tuesday in Umuahia, Ndukwe based his optimism on Kalu’s performance in the 9th Senate and his popularity in the nation’s politics and capacity to deliver good governance, assuring “Abia North will deliver 99% Votes for Orji Kalu”.
Sharing his experience on the Senator’s recently concluded mid term tour of the 57 wards of Abia North on project reports, Ndukwe said “Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu is going to win and there is no doubt about that.
“If we are to judge by records , he should be expecting 100% votes but for the family members of his opponent, we will look towards 99%.
“I was in Arochukwu when Nzuko Aro women welcomed him to their project commissioning. I saw the love and connection. He was at home with the people. The people can do anything for him because of his style. You cannot meet Orji Kalu and not like him . Even his critics get disarmed by his attitude and style.”
“Kalu is a reputable democrat, credible and endearing politician whose track record of achievements speaks volume.
“His political precedence, achievements and contributions to the advancement of Nigeria’s democracy and development of the nation placed him far ahead of other senatorial candidates.
“Kalu is far ahead of others. He is a statesman, a Pan Nigerian and a popular leader whose re-election would bring more development to Abia North senatorial district.”
“His performance in the 9th Senate is the best in the history of Abia state. You cannot have a Senator with over 63 road projects and over 40 Bills and think of voting for another person.
“He has projects across every clan in the zone. It is unprecedented and the best we have seen since 1999,” he added.
