Bishop Dr Emeka Nwankpa, the Accord Party governorship candidate in Abia State in the just-concluded governorship election, has saluted Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, as the Senate Chief Whip marks his 63rd birthday.

In a news release personally signed by him and made available to newsmen, the revered cleric and philanthropist described the Senate Chief Whip as a ‘dogged politician and one who has distinguished himself creditably in the business world.’ Bishop Nwankpa particularly noted Senator Kalu’s quality representation of the people of Abia North Senatorial District in the Senate, and his sterling contributions to the economic and political growth of Nigeria.

Bishop Nwankpa further urged the Senator to use the opportunity of his birthday anniversary to rededicate himself in service to God and mankind, and prayed to God to grant the Senator longer life, more strength and wisdom.
