PROF. GREG IBE SALUTES SENATOR T.A.ORJI AT 71

Chinwe Ugele, Umuahia.

Chancellor, Gregory University, Uturu, Prof Greg Ibe has congratulated the former governor of Abia state and senator representing Abia Central senatorial zone, Senator Theodore Ahamefule Orji for his sterling qualities and outstanding personality.

Prof Ibe while identifying with the senator on his seventy first birthday, described him as a political institution and father of equity in Abia state.

He prayed God to strengthen him for more service delivery to Abia Central district in particular and Abia State in general.

In his words, “I thank the Almighty for the gift of Chief TA Orji to our state, who in the process of emerging the third civilian Governor of Abia became a political institution by achieving the feat of not only winning an election with a new political party but did so from the discomfort of unjust incarceration in a prison.

“Most especially I know posterity will surely accord Ochendo a good place in history for his good legacies while in office as Governor, paramount of which is his insistence on doing the right thing by adopting the ‘Abia Charter of Equity’, a document authored by the founding fathers of our state, as a template for equitable, fair and just distribution of political power from one senatorial zone to another and from one district to another.

“I therefore join millions of our people in praying God to strengthen our leader as he marks this enviable and accomplishing milestone while wishing him well in years to come.”
