An Abia based legal practitioner, Sam Ogbonna, has advised Nigerian politicians to humble themselves like Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the Senator representing Abia North in the National Assembly.

An article released by Ogbonna on Saturday reads:

“Most often, many Constituents rarely see or interact with the people that represent them. Such people’s Representatives stay put in their comfort zones and palatial homes in Abuja to shy away from their responsibilities of interfacing with the people.

“There’s one man, very unassuming, charismatic, accessible and amiable who uses the slightest opportunity when the need arises to come home to rob mind with his Constituents despite his tight schedule.

“Recently, our Muslim brothers celebrated their annual festival which gave a good opportunity to the Senators and others to embark on a short recess. Rather than Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to either travel outside the shores of the country or stay put in Abuja,he came to his Neya Camp residence in his home town Igbere in Bende local government area to hold series of meetings with his Constituents. This deserves commendation.

“It is a rare opportunity for the members of the grassroot to have handshake, dine and wine with their Representatives immediately elections are over, but Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is exceptionally exceptional in this regard.

“It is a well known fact that there are groups that OUK hold so dear to his heart,to wit, OUK Movement, Reality Organization and his political party, All Progressives Congress (APC). Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, despite his crowded itinerary, made out time to interact with all the Leaders of the three distinct bodies in his private residence at Igbere.

“The Ward Chairmen of the five local government areas that make up his Senatorial Zone were all in attendance and had hand shakes with their Senator. The joy was immeasurable as it is a very rare privilege for the grassroot representatives to interact one and one with the people holding their mandates on trust. Not only that he held meetings with them,he ate on the same table with them. What a show of humility?

“These Ward Chairmen of OUK Movement, Reality Organization and Party went home with various food items for themselves and for members of their Wards and personal cash for their transport. What a show of magnanimity?

“If the Politicians can humble themselves like Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the masses would not see the business of politics as a deceit by the bourgeois. Our Representatives who keep away from their Constituents should turn a new leaf to rekindle the interest of the Electorates.”
