What separates us as a people in Abia North Senatorial Zone (ANSZ) is not politics or ideology. It is the alternative conception of reality drawn up by the pedestrian conspiracies by a few men to the destruction of our organized lives.
Abia North Senatorial Zone used to be the Rust Belt of Abia State, represented in the past by tar babies, those who were never focused on our development and well being until OUK was elected to the Senate. Developmentally, OUK’s achievements in Abia North have created positive fundamental shifts in the basal plates of our Senatorial zone.
From the highlands of Ohafia, Arochukwu and Umunneochi, to the lowlands of Isukwuato and Bende, OUK has within his terms as a Senator built, rehabilitated and equipped school blocks, rural roads, equipped health centers, rural electrification projects, developed essential services and triggered purposeful economic diversification. No Senator in Nigeria has an impressive list of developmental achievements like OUK.
OUK came prepared and knew there were so much to do in a Zone that had Senators who cared for self. He started the reconstructions going on in Abia North and improved the energetic political relevance of the broadest majority of our people. This is in fact the truth and action. With projects littered across all communities in Abia North, OUK indeed and in deeds came prepared and delivered the goods for the people.
Those who want to continue their stable oppression of our people are the instigators of the growing volume of noise, deception and distraction. They want to break the link between truth and action and create a new immoral climate of politics.
Let us in good conscience and to promote deliberative democracy, probe the tenure of OUK. Did he fail in delivering the public goods to the people of Abia North maximally? Did he fail in active representation of our Senatorial Zone? Did he fail in conveying an undeniable shared truth of our past loss of the dignity of hope and reversing it? OUK never failed in all these. He took bold, positive steps and initiatives in the face of our problematic present and is prepared to take it into our future.
OUK has acted and performed in an ethical and accountable manner since he was elected our Senator and his monumental achievements in Abia North deserves a new term.
With OUK’s popularity undimmed, he remains a leading Senator, a voice and actor for progressive developments in Abia North. This is the time when all must act together, with dedication to confront our future, in full awareness of what OUK has achieved for Abia North.
