It is often said that there is no alternative to credible leadership and no one does change a winning team.
OUK as he is fondly called was once upon a time touted as one of the youngest governors in Nigerian history, when he was first elected as the executive governor of Abia state in 1999 and to date, the toga of the youngest executive governor is still an outstanding landmark yet to be broken in Nigeria political space. “The record is still standing” like oluomo rock.
Orji Uzor Kalu is a rare genius, whose political clout showers like the morning dew from his hay days in one of the foremost universities in the North, he was able to use the privilege of the new location then to build network of friendship across the Niger and as well as construct bridges to that effect, OUK strongly believes in the spirit of one Nigeria ideology, which has made him to stand tall amongst his peers, contemporaries and indeed a big player in the Nigeria project.
OUK is undoubtedly a household name in Nigeria, beyond politics, he is an astute business tycoon with strong personality that glow like a brand and well respected across the globe.
The pedigree of OUK messianic political stewardship can’t be said to be over emphasized, an icon, a philanthropist that cherish friendship and relationship, an amiable character ,a father ,a husband, a born leader and a destiny booster.
OUK is a detribalized Nigerian and a patriotic nationalist that can communicate freely in three major Nigerian languages to break barriers of ethnic dichotomy and consolidate diversity with the mantra united together and stronger.
Fundamentally speaking, OUK has lived up to the benchmark set for him and the great expectations placed on his shoulders by the people who once elected him in 2019 to represent Abia North in the Red chambers, it is on record that he did not disappoint as he brought to bear all his vast network, verse knowledge, influence and contacts to attracts many laudable projects to his Senatorial District, the OUK empowerment programs is one of the phenomenona achievement of his leadership prowess that has created direct impact assessment on the people of his constituency, to advance community development projects, such as construction of accessible roads, boreholes, construction of school buildings, human capacity development, sponsored scholarship programs for the people of his constituency and beyond.
In view of the above narrative, Orji Uzor Kalu won his reelection bid in the the just concluded general elections of the 25th February, 2023 as a reward gesture by the good people of Abia North to consolidate the good work he has already commenced at the national assembly, more so for the quality leadership displayed, the people of his Senatorial district decided to vote him once again to join his colleagues in the 10th Senate for the big project ahead.
Today, one can make bold to state unequivocally that OUK has always been in the mix of several activities that has ever made positive impact on the floor of the upper chambers, he has sponsored and supported many bills to his name and credit, in moving legislative business of the Red chambers forward for the interest of Nigeria.
Distinguished Senator Orji Uzo Kalu is the current Chief Whip of the 9th Senate and number three in rank and as a principal officer, he has conducted himself to the envy of his colleagues and prove the mantle of leadership capability beyond reasonable doubt.
The great OUK is ready, prepared and well armed with vast wealth of experience garner over years for the bigger and tougher responsibility.
