The Office of the Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has directed members of his media team, supporters, political associates and affiliated groups to henceforth refrain from mentioning, attacking or responding to any candidate seeking the Abia North Senatorial seat in their statements, opinions, articles, social media posts or public engagements, irrespective of provocation.
Senator Kalu has made it clear that his campaign for re-election should be anchored strictly on his record of representation, legislative performance, infrastructural interventions and human capital development across the five local government areas of Abia North.
Accordingly, members of the media team, supporters and associates are directed not to engage in personal attacks, exchanges or unnecessary political controversies involving other candidates. The Senator believes that the people of Abia North are capable of assessing every candidate on the basis of verifiable records, performance and capacity to deliver.
The Senator’s record includes the construction and renovation of over 100 school blocks and classrooms, accompanied by the provision of desks and other educational facilities across communities in Abia North; the attraction of over 70 verifiable road projects; and the continuous distribution of educational and learning materials, including STEM textbooks, school bags, sandals and uniforms to pupils across the senatorial district.
His representation has also facilitated overseas scholarships, international training and capacity-building opportunities for more than 50 youths and other beneficiaries from Abia North, in addition to empowerment programmes through which thousands of constituents have received equipment, tools and other forms of economic support.
In the area of healthcare, interventions have included access to free healthcare services for vulnerable constituents, while communities affected by erosion, flooding and other environmental challenges have also benefited from federal interventions attracted to the district.
Senator Kalu’s legislative record remains another important pillar of his representation. Since his election to the Senate in 2019, he has sponsored and advanced numerous bills touching on education, security, taxation, agriculture, healthcare, transportation, environmental protection, energy, social welfare, justice and economic development.
Among them are the Coastal and Inland Shipping (Cabotage) Act Amendment Bill; National Tax Crimes Commission Bill; National Food Bank Establishment Bill; Compulsory Free Universal Basic Education Act Amendment Bill; National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency Amendment Bill; Armed Forces Act Amendment Bill; Federal College of Education (Technical), Arochukwu Bill; Federal Polytechnic Abiriba Bill; Federal University of Medical Sciences and Biomedical Technology, Umunna, Bende Bill; Federal University of Technology, Ovim Bill; Federal College of Agriculture, Isiochi Bill; Nigeria Chinese Language Village Bill; Nigeria Women Trust Fund Bill; Social Welfare Service Bill; and several other legislative proposals.
He has equally sponsored motions addressing the rehabilitation of the Eastern Rail Line, rural water supply in Abia North, banking infrastructure in the district, decentralisation of Nigeria’s electricity grid, healthcare access for vulnerable Nigerians, renewable energy for health centres, compulsory use of body-worn cameras by law enforcement agencies, crude oil theft, illegal mining, maritime development, research and innovation, among other national issues.
The Senator has therefore instructed that his achievements, ongoing projects, legislative record and plans for the future should speak for him.
The campaign must remain focused on issues, development and service to the people.
There should be no insults, personal attacks or responses to provocations. There should also be no mention of other candidates in statements issued by his media office or in campaign materials and commentaries by supporters acting on his behalf.
Senator Kalu remains grateful to the people of Arochukwu, Bende, Isuikwuato, Ohafia and Umunneochi for their support over the years and believes that the 2027 election should provide another opportunity for the people to evaluate his stewardship on the basis of verifiable achievements and his record in the National Assembly.
Signed:
