Now, let’s take a look at the growing political momentum in Abia North, where support is swelling behind a familiar and formidable figure.
A recent grassroots campaign has listed “100 reasons” why the people of Abia North are calling for the re-election of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
The document, titled “100 Reasons Why Abia North Must Re-elect Senator Orji Uzor Kalu”, highlights his achievements, leadership style, and developmental strides since his election into the Senate.
From infrastructure to education, healthcare, economic empowerment, and security, the campaign outlines a strong case for continuity.
In a village once forgotten, a narrow dusty road has now become tarred. A borehole brings clean water to a once-thirsty community.
A student who couldn’t afford WAEC now proudly holds her certificate. A young graduate now earns a living from a laptop given through a youth empowerment program.
The message is clear: “OUK delivers.”
Senator Kalu, a two-term senator and former governor of Abia State, is being praised for his accessibility, humility, and commitment to grassroots development.
Supporters say his leadership combines experience with results, noting that he has championed:
* Rural electrification
* Road rehabilitation across all five LGAs
* Scholarships for indigent students
* Medical outreaches and health center upgrades
* Small business grants and women empowerment
* And even community security support
“He’s not like others who disappear after elections. OUK visits our communities, listens, and acts. He doesn’t make empty promises — he brings real change,” says Nnenna, a 68 widow from his constuency.
Political analysts say his influence in the National Assembly has brought federal attention and funding to projects in Abia North — and that his re-election could consolidate and expand ongoing initiatives.
With 2027 still two years away, the people are not just waiting — they are organizing early, insisting that the story of transformation must continue.
“In a time when promises fade, results remain.
In a place where others left, one man stayed.
And for the people of Abia North — that means something,” the widow adds.
From Umunneochi to Bende, Isuikwuato to Ohafia, and Arochukwu — the calls are getting louder:
“Re-elect the man who remembered us.”
