Executive Director of Igbere TV, Emeh James Anyalekwa says the visit of former Abia Governor Senator Theodore Orji to his predecessor and Senate Chief Whip, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu was commendable.

T. Orji, who served as Chief of Staff to Orji Kalu when he was governor, had on Wednesday paid a visit to his former boss at his Abuja residence following his release from the Nigeria Correctional Service, Kuje, Abuja.

He was accompanied on the visit by his wife, his former Chief of Staff and younger brother to Sen. Orji Kalu, Mascot Uzor Kalu and a family friend popularly known as Emma Custom. This is the first visit since 2010.

Reacting in a statement made available to journalists on Friday, in Calabar, the Igbere TV boss said the visit is a show of “political maturity in maximum display”.

Recalling how the Senate Chief Whip, Sen. Orji Kalu had declared putting the past behind him, shortly after receiving his INEC Certificate of Return in 2019, Anyalekwa said the former governor has again walked his talk.

“I wish to say that the visit of Senator T. Orji, former governor of Abia to his former boss and Senate Chief Whip, distinguished Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is a welcome development.”

“Both in private and public, I have been a passionate advocate for true reconciliation between the two former governors because of my deep conviction that resounding peace between the two most influential leaders in Abia, who are now both key members of the senate, will undoubtedly usher in a period of unprecedented prosperity in the state.”

Anyalekwa, who doubles as National President, Online Media Practitioners Association of Nigeria (OMPAN), subsequently urged the two Abia senators to imbibe Christ’s teachings of forgiveness as true Christians, and continue to work harmoniously both in and out of the Senate in the interest of the state and ndigbo at large.

Anyalekwa also called on political actors in the state who had been fueling the decade old crisis to have a rethink and give peace a chance.

He said Senator Orji Kalu must not lose focus, but rather continue on his path to working assiduously to re-write the history of representation in his (Abia North) senatorial district.

“There are a lot of work to be done in the state (Abia) and across Nigeria, and we all need each other this time and must continue to work together in unity and harmony,” the Igbere TV director concluded.
