A group of non‑indigenous residents in Abia State—primarily Yoruba from the Southwest zone, alongside communities from Kogi and Kwara has commended the lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for his robust support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a statement jointly signed on behalf of the group by Prince Emmanuel Kayode Olumide, and
Mrs. Oluwayemisi Olufunke Olaniran, lauded Kalu’s “steadfast friendship with President Tinubu,” saying it “demonstrates true Nigerian unity—beyond tribe or region. He has shown that patriotism means standing with capable leadership to move our nation forward.”
“We are deeply grateful to Senator Kalu for opening doors for the Yoruba community in Abia. By appointing our sons as personal staff and aides, he has proven that he values talent and commitment above all else.”
The statement went further to commend the President directly: “We also express our profound appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his visionary economic reforms and commitment to youth empowerment—policies that are already creating real opportunities for our people here in Abia.”
The statement described Senator Kalu as “a detribalised Nigerian whose vision for inclusivity sets a powerful example for political leaders everywhere,” and applauded President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“As we look ahead to the 2027 elections, we wholeheartedly pledge our support to both Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We believe in Senator Kalu’s track record—especially the dozens of schools he is building across Abia North, which are transforming lives and expanding access to education. His empowerment initiatives have lifted many families out of poverty and equipped our youth with the skills they need to succeed.
“Equally, we stand with President Tinubu’s vision for a modern Nigeria—one rooted in economic opportunity, security, and national unity. Together with Senator Kalu, we are confident they will continue to deliver tangible progress for our community and the nation at large. In 2027, you will have our votes, our voices, and our commitment.”
