The Unbeaten History of Orji Uzor Kalu in Abia State Governance


By Bernard Ogbe


While we are inundated with the status of Abia state politics, history continue to have it that four ranking, prominent, democratically elected and serving personality’s of government where in Abia state to commission completed economic projects of H. E, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu in just six months in office as the governor of Abia state.

The negative propaganda in-depth on the former governor of abia state (1999 - 2007) who is presently the Senator representing Abia North senatorial District, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, closed a huge gap as we witness the unfolding of the governance in Abia state under the leadership of the current governor.

While It is expected that the people of Abia state would praise the efforts of the present governor, H. E, Dr Alex Otti (especially those within the generation of 2007 into the present day of Abia state governance), the revealing aspects of some of his engagements so far as the Executive governor of Abia state is fascinatingly displaying to Abians the efforts of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu during the 1999 - 2007 administration.

The developmental gaps created by the cluelessness of those in power within 2007 into 2023 that brought the squalor-cankerworm state of Abia today has given the present government an edge of applaud in his determination to give attention to government facilities regardless of who’s tenure such projects where executed.

Not withstanding the experiences of bad governance melted on Abians for sixteen years, the activities of the incumbent has resurrected not just the memories of how it used to be in the era of our ‘Action Governor’, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, but also, have unveiled the truth that was sat upon with the tarnishing mechanisms established to quench the good works of Dr Orji Uzor Kalu by his successor.

The motivated nomenclature ‘The Action Governor’ given to H. E, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, is a history in the memories of Abians that no successive governors in Abia state have replicated.

The history holds the execution from start, finish and commissioning of six (6) economic roads in Abia state within six (6) months as governor. The history that saw Mr President Olusegun Obasanjo, Vice President Atiku Abubarkar, Sanate President Chuba Okadigbo, and the Speaker House of Representatives Ghali Umar Na’Abba, who were all on different occasions, on the soil of Abia state to Commission economic projects completed by H. E, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, within six (6) months of assuming office in 1999.

For this brilliant performance and as the youngest of the governor’s in the 36 states as at 1999, Mr President Olusegun Obasanjo on commissioning one of these economic projects named Senator Orji Uzor Kalu the ‘Action Governor’. A history yet unbroken in the governance of Abia state.

It is commendable, the efforts of governor Alex Otti, in his believe on the maintenance and revival of government projects, which is a failure on the paths of those that succeeded Senator Orji Uzor Kalu ( Gov. T. A Orji and his successor Okezie Ikpazu). As Abians applauds governor Alex Otti’s commitment to government facilities, it opens up the revealing truth as to the efforts of Dr Orji Uzor Kalu’s blue print, irrespective of the low Federal government allocations that was not up to one billion Naira, compared to what is received presently by the Abia state government from the federal.

The negative vibes of the political clime against the efforts of Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, was a political rascality that meant no good for the growth of Abia state. Orji Kalu established a fertile foundation that would have transformed Abia state if his successor had jettisoned bitter politics to working for the people. No government in eight ( years can meet the satisfactions of the people, however with continuity to government projects, if the blueprints of Orji Kalu was sustained, Abia state would have been heaven to her citizens.

However it is today in Abia state, the reality remains that most of the ongoing road work of Gov. Alex Otti today in Abia state are replications of the works of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu that suffered maintenance and neglects for 16 years in the hands his successors.

In a flash, we can say that:

* Majority of the roads mapped for maintenance and reconstruction are linked to the ones constructed by Dr Orji Uzor Kalu that suffered maintenance culture by the administration that succeeded him.

* “The story of Geometric power cannot be explained without the tremendous impact of former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu. I know the sacrifices and the critical role played by him, especially trying to make sure that the project remained in Aba. 
“I recall the challenges of getting the land and paying for it. I accompanied Prof. Barth Nnaji to those events and I know Dr Orji Uzor Kalu played a tremendous role in making it a reality. It’s good for our people and Nigerians to know.” - Prof Diogu.

This statement was confirmed by Gov. Alex Otti. during the inauguration of the 188-megawatt geometric power plant in Aba, Abia state, to accelerate power supply to industrial clusters in the region (nine local governments).

* The Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH) and the 15 general hospitals built across the state by former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu for easy access to quality healthcare services seeks government intervention as the masses cry out for Gov. Alex Otti’s attention.

* The free education scheme of Dr Orji Uzor Kalu for all students is still a request from Abians that neither T. A Orji nor Okezie Ikpazu were able to harmonize nor sustained. The masses look up on Gov. Alex Otti for rescue. How well, the former Governor Dr Orji Uzor Kalu came about financing the free education scheme with such low federal allocations and internally generated revenue is still a mystery to earn Orji Kalu an accolade, the ‘Action Governor’

We may not be able to digest the numerous achievements of H. E, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu that perpetually overwhelmed all hates, brandishing, propaganda and other mischievous attempts to fault a man that selflessly deposited himself to better the society. However they’ve tried, the love of the people for Orji Uzor Kalu, as organic it is, gets stronger by the day in his doggedness to bringing developmental strides to the people of Abia North Senatorial District.

Rubbish, now that Abians are seeing governance you bring this thief her to praise him

Praise singer. I was busy reading through to see all the unbeatable achievements, couldn't see any. You kept emphasizing on the achievements and couldn't even list them. Abi your principal wants to contest for governor of Abia state again? Tell him it's impossible according to the constitution of federal Republic of Nigeria.

Story for dogs. Allow the real action Governor to do his work in peace. Still tell us that it is Orji Uzor Kalu that helped Alex Otti to win the election.
RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How they praise thieves in Nigeria is not in any way surprising.

Shame no dey catch you?

Media propaganda. I lived in Aba when the man was government. It was hell. Aba roads were deathtraps. The city was a massive garbage dump. Criminality held sway. Bakassi Boys emerged because of the level of crime in Aba. I can go on and on. There was actually nothing to write about his government. I lived then along Old Express Road. His government managed to build our road, (one of the very few they constructed), but the road was eroded and became impassable just 4 months after it was constructed. It was the worst road ever constructed in the history of road construction

Most people that will comment aren't even born in 1999 or where in primary or secondary school hence know nothing about Orji Uzor Kalu than the febbles in Nigerian newspapers and Internet mostly generated by third term retributionist and Obasanjo's government lawfares.

The OP should have mentioned one concrete monument Orji Uzo Kalu left for Abians. Orji Uzor Kalu built roads that could not live out his tenure. Have you forgotten mamacracy?

Orji Uzor is a thief. You try to condemn people after him,but forgot to mention that he brought the bigger thief that outsmarted him.

OP go and drink garri.

The road to my Village, Umuezewuzie, ikpabo , Nneato Umunneochi, from Leru Junction to Umuchukwu in Anambra was built by OUK in 2007. The road is still there till date. Most of you are Genz generation that weren't born in 1999.
