The Senate Chief Whip, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu for appointing an Abia indigene, Dr. Mrs. Uzoma Emenike as Nigeria's Ambassador to United States, urging Ndigbo to take pride for such magnanimity.

Dr. Mrs. Emenike before her cross-posting was Nigerian Ambassador to Ireland.

Sen. Kalu, representing Abia North district in a chat with ABN TV on Thursday while recollecting that he along with other senators from Abia state had kicked against the nomination of a single individual from Abia during the screening of the ambassadorial nominees last year said the President assured he will cross-post Dr. Mrs. Emenike to the number one embassy in the world, the US.

He also thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for keeping his promise.

"I told them you can't bring one name here and the President assured us that he will cross-post her from Ireland to Washington DC and that was why I kept quiet. It didn't just happen by chance.

"Today, it's a reality and we thank him for that and all other interventions in Eastern Nigeria" he said.

The former Abia governor while calling on those who are of the opinion that President Muhammadu Buhari has not done much in carrying Ndigbo along in his administration to have a rethink.

He added that his infrastructural interventions in the South East region point otherwise.

He emphasized that the road infrastructure the current administration has completed in the South East region has eased the transport burden of the people especially along Umuahia-Enugu expressway, Isuikwuato-Ovim erosion control project facilitated in collaboration with Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejiocha, member representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal and Dr. Uche Ogah, Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development.

According to Kalu, some roads in Aba are being reconstructed by the federal government through the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), insisting that the current administration means well for Ndigbo.

He expressed optimism that if the federal government intervention in the region continues, roads in South East will be significantly improved.

foolish fool

I think the Igbos should be given a shot at the presidency in 2023.

We've tried Hausa and Yoruba and they both failed woefully

Let's try the Igbos.

Jagznation:
foolish fool

He has achieved what no one in your family has achieved

Who is this convicted criminals admonishing or advising? People like Orji Uzor Kalu should have maintained a low profile under the worst detention facility in world.

Nice one. If not for the fact that Buhari seems to be supporting his brother herdsmen to be killing other Nigerians, I would have trekked from Umuahia to Maiduguri to celebrate him.

PrinceOfLagos:

By being the worst criminal that looted Abia along his mother? Seems you are out of your mind.Dont glorify these criminals.

PrinceOfLagos:

hello nitwit

Jagznation:

hello nitwit

Your father top the list

Kalu is a fool

If they don't want, abeg, Yoruba and hausa are waiting in the wings for that appointment.

Orji Uzo Kalu is a huge embarrassment if he said such thing

If he's a criminal, then what Is Tinubu?

Shut up.

No one stops igbos from contesting.

PrinceOfLagos:

Respect other people's father even if yours died wretched and you'll surely die like him,mannerless Rat

While we preach against quota system or preach against nepotism, our message or reaction in appointment like this should not read any ethnic coloration.

First, the appointee is a Nigerian and she deserved it, so why thanking Mr president for appointing her (like doing the Igbos a favour).

Our leaders should do away with this stuffs. It makes the northerners feel they are doing the igbos a favour (what you're rightly entitled to)

I rarely see where the northern leaders thank the FG appoint their people.

When appointment comes, appreciate it and move on. No one is doing anyone a favour. We all own Nigeria.

This fool again. Let him come Owerri and talk this nonsense. Abia people tolerate too much.

Question is
Let them scale through party primaries before any other thing.

They are all criminals.The earlier we put them where they rightfully belong, the earlier they dont take our sensibility for granted.Imagine both of them still aspiring to be president of Nigeria.

Tinubu is the biggest criminal in Nigerian history and that's more reason why Buhari will not support his Presidential ambition in 2023.

What about Orji kalu and atiku, what about Rochas that built empowerment program in abuja instead of Imo his constituent?

Why are you pointing out the Yorubas and hiding yours?

What have the subsequent governors in Abia have done to abia compared to what subsequent governors of Lagos has done?

Jagznation:

surely i will cos am not jobless like you

Well I hope you're not an employee ?

Later now they will say igbos are being marginalized. Lets be truthful atimes

PrinceOfLagos:

Stop degrading your leaders

You're not better than them.

Many accuse their leaders for this n that, yet many non leaders are at the ministries in Abuja and their respective states stealing money anyhow and extorting money from people on a daily basis.

They won't attend to your file if you don't 'do the necessary'
They inflates contract and price/cost of things
They tell you oga is not around because you haven't settle them
Lackadaisical attitude to work; etc
