The Chairman, Senate Committee on Southeast
Development Commission, SEDC has been inundated with words of appreciation from
the good people of Ohafia in Abia North Senatorial District, for all the
numerous infrastructural developments he has brought to Ohafia and Abia North
by extension both as a governor and a senator.
This came as a result of the completion of Ndi Orieke
Ohafia road by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu. Mr. Ibem while praising the good works
of Kalu made it clear that the road for quite a long time was inaccessible for
commuters to ply the road. However, the derelict road has now been brought back
to life by the visible intervention of Sen. Kalu representing the Senatorial
District at the upper chamber of National Assembly.
“Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has announced the completion
of the ever impassable and long abandoned Ndi Orieke Ohafia road. You can now
access Ndi Orieke Ohafia either through Abia Ohafia road or the Eziafor-Biakpan
road. The Ndi Orieke residents can now heave a sigh of relief as their years of
suffering and not having access to the road to their community has come to an
abrupt end through the intervention of the Abia North Senator, Senator Orji
Uzor Kalu.” Ibem noted.
Mr. Ibem while thanking Sen. Kalu on his Facebook
page, revealed that many people had lost their lives on the said road,
especially during the rainy season because of how bad the road was until Kalu
stepped in.
Ibem further revealed that sick people and dead corpses had to be carried on
the head for over one (1) kilometer before they got to the Eziafor-Asaga
junction. It was a nightmare for the people, he stressed.
“Many souls have been lost on that road especially
during the rainy season, as no vehicle or even motorcycle were able to ply on
the road to convey a sick person or pregnant woman to the hospital.
“Even during burials, the people will have to carry the sick patients or the
corpse with their hands and walk more than a kilometer in order to get to their
community or link to Eziafor-Asaga junction before getting a vehicle.” Ibem
opined
Aware that Kalu is the only person previously as
Governor and now as a senator who has attracted massive construction of roads
and other life changing infrastructures to ameliorate the suffering of the
people of Ohafia, Ibem couldn’t hide the joy, excitement and butterfly flying
in his stomach, he poured words of encomium on the man that has turned Abia
North to a construction site.
Passing a strong vote of confidence in the former
Governor of Abia State, Mr. Ibem unequivocally stated that Sen. Kalu will
remain indelible and dear in the hearts of the people of Ohafia.
“Senator Orji Uzor Kalu will remain dear to the people
of Ohafia community as it is during his tenure as Governor and now as a Senator
that Ohafia witnessed massive construction and rehabilitation of internal roads
that links so many communities. Thank you Senator OUK for always remembering
the forgotten or neglected communities, especially in Ohafia.” Ibem asserted
Recall that Kalu has attracted over 100 roads across
North Senatorial District. He recently won the Best Performing Senator, an
award he has won three years consecutively.
