A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Ifeanyi Ogbonna, popularly known as Ignes, has congratulated the lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, describing the former Abia governor’s leadership strides as impactful, valuable and indelible.
Chronicling Kalu’s business, political and philanthropic endeavours, Ogbonna, in a press release, yesterday, congratulated the lawmaker and described him as an accomplished elder statesman worthy of emulation.
Ogbonna noted Kalu, who heads the Senate Committee on South-East Development Commission, has remained undaunted to the socio-economic and infrastructural development of Abia-North Senatorial District which, he stated, was demonstrated when Kalu was governor of Abia State.
Highlighting the virtues of the former senate chief whip, Ignes, the CEO of Visteon International Company Limited, said that Kalu embodies virtues of honesty, hard work, ingenuity, humanity, equitability and justice.
The prominent Ohafia/Arochukwu stakeholder praised Senator Kalu for his laudable contributions to Nigeria’s industrialisation and democratic process through his legislative endeavours and public commentaries.
Ignes said Kalu’s industrialisation effort has continued to create self-sufficiency and thousands of jobs for Nigerians, especially the youths.
“The life of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is an attestation of generosity, humanity and faith. Kalu can best be described as a human capacity investor, which underscores his love for humanity. It is, indeed, a celebration of the transformation of his Senatorial District since 2019, through the nonstop execution of critical infrastructure which he also exhibited during his tenure as governor of our state.
“We recognise and express our gratitude for his interventions in the provision of essential facilities for businesses and livelihood to thrive from roads, schools, solar street lights, among others.”
Ignes offered prayers of vitality, wisdom, and many more fruitful years for the lawmaker.
