Ohafia Udumeze Won’t Be Part of Any Plot Against Senator Kalu — Prof Eni
Eminent scholar, Prof. Kalu Eni, has declared that the people of Ohafia Udumeze are not part of any alleged plot against the Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.
Prof. Eni said the Ohafia clan remains satisfied with its current political representation, including the office of the Deputy Governor occupied by Rt. Hon. Ikechukwu Emetu and the House of Representatives seat held by Hon. Ibe Okwara Osonwa.
He commended Senator Kalu’s contributions to the community, both during his tenure as Governor and now as Senator, stressing that the people of Ohafia will not be swayed by external influences.
“Ohafia people are not betrayers. We won’t betray Senator Kalu the way others did; rather, we shall continue to love him as one of us. I have never met him, but his achievements speak for him. Becoming a professor today was a result of his investment in education, which I benefited from,” Prof. Eni stated.
He criticised individuals from outside the Ohafia clan who, he claimed, have never supported the community yet now seek to use its name for political advantage.
“Some of them were in power but cannot name a single thing they did for Ohafia. We won’t allow them to hide under our LGA to instigate us against Senator Kalu. As for Ohafia Udumeze, we are fully supporting Senator Orji Uzor Kalu,” he said.
Prof. Eni noted that discussions about political realignments in Ohafia LGA can only begin in 2031, pledging unity among the people.
He aligned himself with other prominent Ohafia leaders, including Dr. Ody Ajike, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Uchendu, Barr. Emeka Kalu, Chief Fred Idika, Bishop Silas Eke, Rev. Kalu Ukpai Ota, Pastor Caleb Kalu Awa, Prince Emma Nwosu, and Chief D.K. Uduma, in rejecting any attempt to divide the community.
“That era where we were used and divided is over. No more division in Ohafia. Ohafia is one, and we are with Senator Orji Uzor Kalu,” he affirmed.
