11 years After, Orji Kalu More Relevant Than Serving Politicians

By Dr Isaac okorie

How OUK managed to still remain politically relevant over 11 years after leaving power without holding any other political office should be a serious study in socio- political relationship.

Hate him, like him, despise him or admire him you cannot help but acknowledge the fact that he’s one of the greatest political enigma of our time.
Classically understandings, highly forgiving and socially accommodating. You cannot really appreciate his impact until you look back and wonder; where is Mbadinuju, Udenwa, Egwu and Nnamani. Even some politicians like Sen. T. A. Orji that came after him, that ran into the Senate to hide are fast losing relevant. But, wherever you turn it’s Orji Uzor!! Orji Uzor Kalu!! Orji Uzor Kalu!!!

Either they are invoking his name to curry favour or they’re invoking it to get relevance. One thing is certain, you use his name for good or bad, the name Orji Uzor Kalu is putting food on your table. When you call him negatively in order to gain favour or access and when you use it positively in order to be favoured. Talk about what’s in a name, then got search for the meaning of Orji tree in Igbo land. Those who said a tree does not make a forest should look at every aspects of the lives of this dynamic and highly loved political wizard and rephrase.
In Old Bende, we are known to be warriors and if OUK we find a warrior son we are proud of.

Two weeks ago I hit home for Christmas, as advised by my driver we diverted from Uzoakoli to Igbere via Abiriba and the symbol of Zerock over the newly constructed road was there. The symbols of Zerock was equally displayed everywhere as we run across the Umuahia-Igbere-Abiriba parts of the federal road which OUK has made sure there’s no single pothole.

If after over ten years of leaving power, if as a private citizen Orji Uzor Kalu can attract these federal and state roads to be constructed by NDDC. Looking at the Ohafia-Arochukwu federal road, one cannot help but wonder what Senator Moa Ohuabunwa has been doing in the senate that makes him want to go back?
If as a private citizen Orji Uzor Kalu can influence the construction of these roads, then as a senator, he can attract federal government or her agency to construct the Ohafia-Arochukwu Road. He has shown that he knows how to play the game. Let’s be politically wise while voting the next senator that will represent us in Abia North.
