Senate Needs Experience, Not Experiments — Elder Statesman Backs Orji Uzor Kalu for Another Term

The affairs of the Nigerian Senate require wisdom, maturity, and a deep understanding of the nation’s complex challenges. In this regard, age and experience are not drawbacks—they are assets. This is why many political observers and stakeholders in Abia North strongly believe that Senator Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu deserves another term in the Red Chamber.

Speaking on the senator’s performance, respected community leader and elder statesman, Mazi Iheanyi Inyamah, stressed that Dr. Kalu’s track record in the Senate has been nothing short of exemplary. “Senate business is not for children,” Mazi Inyamah remarked. “It is for people who understand leadership, governance, and national responsibility. Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has done wonderfully well, and we are proud to have him represent us.”

A Record of Unmatched Performance

Since he was elected to represent Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Kalu has brought visible development to the region—touching lives through infrastructure, education, health care, and youth empowerment. His ability to attract federal projects and influence critical policies in favor of his constituency stands as a testament to his political acumen and dedication to service.

Communities across Abia North have witnessed a new era of representation marked by tangible projects—ranging from road construction, renovation of schools, provision of learning materials, and medical outreach programs. For the first time in many years, constituents feel a direct connection to the federal government through the efforts of their senator.

Maturity and Experience Matter
Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu brings with him a wealth of experience, not only as a legislator but also as a former governor and seasoned entrepreneur. His understanding of both the public and private sectors makes him uniquely equipped to navigate national politics and deliver results. In the Senate, he has sponsored bills and motions that have national significance while remaining deeply connected to his roots in Abia North.

“In times like these, we cannot afford to gamble with inexperienced leadership,” Mazi Inyamah stated. “The older the better. We need someone who can speak and be heard, someone who understands the game and knows how to win for the people. That person is Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu.”

A Mandate to Continue
As the 2027 elections approach, calls for Dr. Kalu’s re-election are growing louder. Grassroots support across the senatorial zone shows that his constituents recognize and appreciate his commitment to service. Many believe that returning him to the Senate is not just a political decision, but a continuation of progress for Abia North.

In a political landscape often marked by noise and empty promises, Senator Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu stands out as a leader who delivers. His experience, maturity, and proven performance make a compelling case for his return to the Senate. As Mazi Iheanyi Inyamah and many others have rightly said, Senate business is not for children.
