Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North Senatorial District, has addressed the recent endorsements for his candidacy in the 2027 election, emphasising that his primary concern is to better serve his constituents.
While acknowledging the endorsements, the former governor of Abia highlighted that he is still bound by the mandate given to him in 2023, and fulfilling that commitment remains his utmost priority.
“My focus right now is not on the politics of 2027 but on the people of Abia North Senatorial District and how to improve their lives, especially given the prevailing hunger in the land. I cannot engage in political discussions while my people are suffering from hunger.
“While I appreciate the endorsements from our community at home and abroad, we must remember the mandate entrusted to us in 2023.
“My current priority is to deliver greater dividends of democracy, to bring smiles to my people’s faces, and to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other patriotic Nigerians in addressing the challenges facing the progress of our great nation,” Senator Orji stated in a post on his social media account.
