Columns/Opinions/Letters, Abia North, Politics
WHY ABIA NORTH SHOULD REJECT SENATOR ORJI UZOR KALU THIRD TERM AGENDA. By: Comr. Ahamefula Kalu Aki. A long political career marked by highs and lows. As former Governor of Abia State (1999–2007), he positioned himself as a development advocate, but his record is tainted by serious allegations of financial misconduct, including a high-profile fraud conviction that was later nullified. While Senator Kalu enjoys social media endorsements from various unidentified groups ahead of the 2027 elections—such as few sycophants leaders from Ohafia praising his projects and APC chieftains urging rivals to step aside—we all know that his re-election would perpetuate…
