Member of the Nigerian Senate representing Abia North, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu has said the people of his constituency will predicate their decision for their next Senator on the account of his performance in the last four years and those who came before him.
Sen. Kalu will present himself for a fresh term on the platform of All Progressives Congress, APC in the 2023 election few weeks away from now.
While featuring on a radio programme on The Sun FM at his Igbere home town monitored by ABN TV, the former governor expressed optimism that he will secure a fresh term based on the efforts he has put in place to offer quality representation to his people, urging them to compare his performance in the last four years and compare same with that it representatives who came before him.
Sen. Kalu who is the Chief Whip of the Senate stated that the zone stands to benefit more if he is returned back to the National Assembly as its Senator, noting that he has gained valuable experience in four years to bring more dividends of democracy to the people.
He said, “I am lucky the people of Abia North Senatorial District voted for me as their Senator and I will do my best to serve them. When I was governor of the state, they rewarded me for my performance in my first tenure by re-electing me despite the fact that some people at the centre opposed me.
“Abia North people would determine my reelection. I have worked hard for my people. When I was the governor of the state, I constructed the Ebem- Asaga-Ndi Ibe-Amuma- Okon- Amangwu road in Ohafia Local Government Area and some in Umunneochi Local Government Area and I reconstructed them as a Senator.
“I will do everything to sustain what we are doing; sustainable jobs for our people, roads, health, education and others; I want to see an Abia North where everything works.”
He also promised more development projects in the Senatorial District when reelected in 2023, saying: “Development is a continuous process; I will do more for Abia North and Abia State in general when I am reelected.”
On the allegation of anti-party activities by a group of Abia APC members, the former Abia state governor said he remains a committed member of the party at all levels.
Yes, that is what they will do!
They must consider all the killings occasioned by your desperate quest for power.
The RUGA attracted by you must be considered.
Abia North will consider your lobbying for war against innocent civilians.
Abia North will consider your efforts for North-North Ticket
And many more.
