Constituents in Amankalu, Abiriba, and nearby towns have praised Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for initiating an additional stretch of the Amankalu–Abiriba Junction (Ogidiala) Road project. The strategic road is seen as vital for grassroots development in Abia North Senatorial District.
Chief J. C. Ukoha, speaking for the community via Igbere Voice from the diaspora on Monday, May 5, 2025, said, “The ongoing asphalting of the road, which links Amankalu to the Igbere-Abiriba Road, marks a major milestone in Senator Kalu’s commitment to improving infrastructure and enhancing the quality of life in the people of Abia North Senatorial District.”
He added, “This is more than a road project. It is a lifeline that connects communities, stimulates economic growth, and brings development closer to the people.”
Ukoha, calling Kalu “Ahaejiagamba,” praised his consistent delivery of constituency projects since 2019. “Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is not only fulfilling promises—he is redefining what effective representation means. No senator in the history of Abia North has delivered a quarter of what he has done,” he noted. The project is part of Kalu’s broader effort to modernise rural infrastructure across Abia North.
Regarding the 2027 elections, Ukoha declared, “There is no vacancy in Abia North Senatorial District in 2027,” affirming constituents’ support for Kalu’s continued representation.
The road’s progress, evidenced by construction site photos, underscores Kalu’s visionary leadership and people-first governance.
