Reverend Samson Okoro Elekwa, a respected cleric of the Baptist Church, has hailed Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, describing him as “Abia’s greatest gift from God” and “a divine instrument” through whom God is transforming Abia North Senatorial District.
Speaking to newsmen, the cleric commended Senator Kalu’s impressive strides in rural infrastructure, particularly citing the construction of roads in Ndi Orieke, Ohafia LGA, and Amannagwu, Arochukwu LGA, along with over 80 other roads across the district.
“The road in Ndi Orieke, Ohafia, and the one in Amannagwu, Arochukwu, are just a few among the many life-changing projects Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has brought to our people,” Rev. Elekwa said.
“He didn’t just talk; he acted. These roads have opened up our communities and empowered our farmers, traders, and transporters. For me, this is real empowerment—far better than sharing wrappers or giving out small cash.”
Reverend Elekwa highlighted several other communities that have benefited from Kalu’s leadership, including Atan Abam, Alayi, Ezeukwu, Ndi Inya Abam, Isu, Umuzomgbo, Itumbauzo, Okoko Item, Nneato, Akanu Ohafia, and Abia Ohafia.
“Kalu is not only building roads, he is building hope, restoring pride, and empowering generations. We must acknowledge and protect this legacy,” he added.
Taking a firm stand against those criticizing the senator, the cleric described detractors as “political jobbers and sponsored nonentities.”
“Those attacking Senator Kalu are jobless noise-makers who have never brought a single block to their communities. They are threatened by his success and are trying to distract him. But they will fail,” he stated.
Reverend Elekwa urged the people of Abia North and the entire South East to rally behind Senator Kalu, describing him as a beacon of leadership, vision, and grassroots development.
“The South East needs leaders like Kalu—bold, generous, and development-driven. I urge our people to stand with him and ignore those who only know how to criticize without results,” he concluded.
