Reverend Kalu Ukpai Ota, a respected cleric from Abia State, has declared support for the return of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to the Senate in 2027, stressing that the people of Abia North are eager to see him continue his legislative service.
Speaking to journalists at the weekend, Rev. Ota described Kalu as “a man of peace” with a solid track record in the National Assembly and a consistent commitment to human development across Abia State and Nigeria.
“Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has the experience, the reach, and the results to show. His tenure in the Senate has brought visible benefits to Abia North. The people are asking for his return because they know his worth,” Rev. Ota said.
The cleric also commended Kalu’s statesmanship, noting that he has steered clear of political conflicts with other elected officials in the state.
“He is not fighting with anyone. He is focused on development and unity, which is what Abia needs at this time,” he added.
Rev. Ota, however, cautioned against backing any Senate aspirant who may undermine the state’s progress.
“It is better to have Kalu. He will not fight or work against the progress of the state. We must be careful not to empower someone who will emerge and use that platform to create division and tension. Abia needs peace and stability,” he advised.
He urged all well-meaning Abians to rally behind Senator Kalu for the sake of continuity, experience, and effective representation at the federal level.
