He is not a phony publicity seeker. No, not at all. But anytime, anywhere and any day, be it in Nigeria or outside the shores of the country, he is always in the news. In other words, he is a news maker. The reason of his being a good press is not far fetched.
The incumbent Senate Committee Chairman on Privatization and Commercialization, Distinguished Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK) is the delight of the reporter. The debanair and maverick politician and astute business magnate is audacious, vocal, frank, flamboyant and does not spurn the inquisitive journalist. What is more, he is fearless, a performer and does not shy away from controversy. That is, where his contemporaries dread to speak on, OUK will speak up.
By implication, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is a fascinating figure to engage with, no matter the time or place. Little wonder news men at all times throng around him seeking audience for interaction. That accounts for why he is a regular guest to various television channels, radio stations, newspaper and magazine publications. Simply put, the Distinguished Senator Orji Uzor Kalu representing Abia North Senatorial District at the National Assembly for the second time, is a voice to be reckoned with in the nation’s polity.
His opinion, view and stand for national and global issues, sometimes controversial, occupy the media space. He is a front page and headline news maker. To this effect, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (MON) , the Pillar of Sports in Africa and media baron (both print and electronic), is unarguably one of the most publicized politicians in our clime.
When the two term former Governor of Abia State (1999 – 2007) seem not to be in the limelight, news mongers manufacture stories about him, aware that such will attract public attention. Not long ago, while quietly savouring his vacation abroad, mischievous online media publisher reported that the ranking Senator had passed, when much alive.
Far back in late 1970s when young Orji Uzor Kalu transferred from Eziama High School, Aba to Government College, Umuahia to star in the school football team, he made news. As an undergraduate at University of Maiduguri where he was a union activist, OUK was a news maker. Years back, his genuine donation to the Bornu State Sports Endowment Fund became controversial and made headline news in the media.
During his eight year tenure as Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu ranked as one of the most reported governor among his fellow Governors.
Since 2019 when he was elected into the Senate, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, the efficient, effective and performing Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District has due to his service delivery to his constituents and informed comments on national and international issues has dominated the media space.
A few of these headlines will buttress the point we are striving to make.
“N14 million I earn monthly as Senator not enough – Kalu”
“Kalu slams Libyan FA, demands CAF sanctions”
“Six year term will curb waste and ensure more development – Kalu “
“I am qualified to be president – Uzor Kalu sets conditions to contest in 2027”
” Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has turned Abia North to caterpillar revolution “
” He thought I was after him – Orji Kalu opens up on fight with Obasanjo “
“Orji Uzor Kalu has touched the lives of his people “
“Orji Kalu urges Tinubu to adopt compassionate governance “
“Kalu urges patience, support President Tinubu’s reforms” and many more.
That is versatile Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for you. His voice must be heard and reckoned with too.
KEEP HOPE ALIVE WITH OUK.
