I fought insecurity as your Chief Security Officer from what we raised from the cattle market. The agreement we had while setting up the market was for the state to get 5% and the local government area gets the other 5%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was done with good intentions to drive development in your area. We didn\u2019t establish the market to hurt anyone. We brought the market so that money raised from it can be used to build schools, hospitals and water in your area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did it because I love you people. People should stop playing politics with everything including insecurity. Lives should be valued by all because it is only God that can give life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Abia North Senator was received by the traditional ruler, Uduemeze III of Lopkanta, HRH Prince Ifeanyi Eke alongside the president generals of Umuchieze community, various women and youth groups.<\/p>\n<p>The traditional rulers and community stakeholders commended Kalu for his impactful leadership to their community and restated their commitment to re-elect in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu says the cattle market in Lokpanta, Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State was set up to drive revenue for the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":91139,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
