Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North Senatorial District in the Senate has said only few senators can match up with his constituency projects.
Kalu, a former Abia State governor who made the statement while addressing journalist at his country home in Igbere, said it will be a disservice to Abia North, Abia State in general if he did not go back to the Senate.
The lawmaker while answering questions why he will be going back to the Senate said he is very sure that out of 109 Senators in the red chamber he is among the 20 senators that are performing excellent.
Senator Kalu revealed that Abians will be shortchanging themselves if he did not go back to the Senate, adding that despite representing Abia North senatorial district, his projects cut across the state.
“What am I doing in the senate that other senators are not doing? You can see that the development here is unprecedented.
“I can beat my chest to say that not up to 20 senators out of the 109 have done what I have done there in six years.
“Abia North and Abia State will be shortchanging themselves if they don’t send me back to the Senate.
“I am building roads and schools in Isiala Ngwa, I am building roads in Aba and every other place even though I am from Abia North.”
Speaking on creation of more states, the former Abia governor said “I cannot talk about state creation because constitutional amendment is a very difficult issue and if the President has the Will to do it and members of the National Assembly are united together, there will be creation of another state and I support creation of one state out of the existing five states.
“My opinion might be different from other persons opinion. For me, they should take somewhere in Imo, Anambra and Delta with capital in Oguta. I don’t care what name that they will call it, I have said this times without number.
“I am a man with fair mindedness and one who speaks the truth at all times. I believe that if the Igbos will come together and pursue the state that I am proposing, it will be me more viable
