The apex socio-political youth group in the South East geopolitical zone, Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL), has commends the Senator representing Abia North at the red chamber and Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, for attracting 53 roads projects to his Constituency and other projects which they say have alleviated the suffering of the people and added value more value to their lives.
COSEYL says the quality and result oriented representation of Senator Kalu has proved that he is a goal-getter and a good manager of human resources whose interest in governance is to put smiles on the faces of his people.
The Coalition in a statement signed by its national president, Hon. Goodluck Ibem expressed displeasure that politicians elected to represent their people at the National Assembly go there to represent them themselves and their personal interests abandoning those who elected them to their own faith, appealing to them to take a cue from Sen. Kalu former Governor of Abia State.
COSEYL says Senator Kalu has proved himself as a good ambassador of the people who can be trusted to deliver the goods, adding that he has indeed proved his mettle in governance and deserves commendation from all and sundry.
The release added, “Some of the projects commissioned include the Agbaja Nkporo road (7.5KM) in Ohafia LGA, Uturu road (2 KM) in Isuikwuato Local LGA, Obi Chima road (2 KM) in Isuikwuato LGA, Umu Imenyi road (2KM) in Bende LGA and Amankalu Alayi road (2 KM) in Bende LGA.
“Other projects attracted by our distinguish Senator include three Boreholes in Agbaja, Amuri and Enugwu Nkporo in Ohafia LGA and 4 KM Ukwu Rubber Amaokwe-Item road and another road at Igbere in Bende LGA.
“The successful execution and completion of these laudable projects within three years of representation by Senator Kalu is a clear testament that he is not in the Senate to make noise, but for a serious business which is to better the lives and well-being of his people.
“We thank Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for not behaving like some Senators who will tell their constituents that the are not in the Senate to attract projects but only to make laws. But when these same Senators discover that their people have uncovered their deceitful nature and it is backfiring on them, the will share one or two transformers and put few street lights as their democracy dividends for their long years of representation.
“Senator Orji Kalu has indeed changed the narrative and shown to the people that the is more to lawmaking. Abians are indeed proud of him. We urge him to keep up the good work .
“We call on other Senators and lawmakers who have been deceiving their people, telling them that the is no projects given to their constituency to desist from such pranks and turn a new leave by emulating the dynamic Senator representating Abia North senatorial district and learn from him.
“We urge Senator Kalu to please organise tutorial lessons for those Senators and lawmakers who are only telling stories to their constituents year-in, year-out so that they can change for good. Enough said!”
