Top Abia Monarchs Hail Senator Orji Kalu’s Transformative Leadership

In less than two weeks, two of the most respected and wealthy traditional rulers in Abia State have publicly commended Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for his outstanding contributions to education and infrastructure development in Abia North.

The latest commendation came from the Chairman of the Abia State Traditional Rulers Council, HRM Eze Linus Mba, who described Senator Kalu’s efforts as unparalleled since the creation of Abia State. Known for his integrity, straightforwardness, and independence, Eze Mba, like his counterpart, speaks the truth without bias or favor.

“Your Excellency, my Senator, no senator has done what you did in Abia North since the creation of Abia State. You have made Abia North people feel the value of good representation in the National Assembly,” HRM Eze Linus Mba stated.

The revered traditional ruler highlighted Kalu’s widespread developmental projects, which have significantly impacted lives across the senatorial district. He emphasized the senator’s major interventions in road construction, school renovations, healthcare, scholarships, empowerment programs, and solar streetlights, many of which had been lacking in the region for decades. He particularly noted that Ihechiowa, a community that had suffered neglect for over 25 years, is now experiencing the dividends of democracy under Kalu’s leadership.

Similarly, in an earlier statement, the Paramount Ruler of Ebem Ohafia Ancient Kingdom, HRH Ezie Ukoha Kalu Ukoha (JP), also praised Senator Kalu for his dedication to the development of Ohafia. The monarch, who is also widely respected for his honesty and independent stance, commended the senator for constructing a modern classroom block at Evan Primary School, emphasizing how the project has transformed education in the community.

“We cannot thank him enough. His efforts to uplift our community are deeply appreciated,” HRH Ezie Ukoha Kalu Ukoha stated, urging Senator Kalu to continue his engagement with the people of Ohafia.

Both HRM Eze Linus Mba and HRH Ezie Ukoha Kalu Ukoha are highly regarded figures in Abia State, known for their wealth, integrity, and unbiased leadership. They are not beggars who seek personal favors but rather distinguished traditional leaders who speak the truth without taking sides. Their endorsement of Senator Kalu’s work further solidifies the senator’s reputation as a transformative leader whose impact is felt across Abia North.

As Senator Kalu continues to execute developmental projects, the rare public support from these revered monarchs highlights the effectiveness of his representation. His commitment to infrastructure, education, and community welfare has earned him widespread recognition, setting a benchmark for leadership and service delivery in Abia North.
