The people of Abia-Ohafia in Ohafia local government area of Abia State have lauded Senate Chief Whip Dr Orji Uzor Kalu (APC – Abia North) )for the reconstruction of the road that leads to their community and the provision of electricity.
They said the former governor of the state was the first politician to perform this feat for them.
The president general of the community, Chief Peter Eke Onoh, who gave the commendation in a chat with Newsmen, expressed gratitude for the senator’s visit to Ania ward during his tour of wards, praising him for the developmental projects he has attracted and is currently embarking on.
“He has built the road to a certain stage. The third phase is what we are pleading with him to complete. Without him, we wouldn’t have had a road, without him, we don’t even see light”.
He pleaded with Kalu for his assistance to fully restore electricity to the community after it was cut off following a heavy downpour.
Chief Onoh disclosed that about 20 electricity poles collapsed recently, causing a blackout in the community.
He said about N5 million was what was needed to complete the ongoing power restoration efforts being put in place by the community.
