Great leaders are not only cynosures of all eyes; they are veritable source of joy and gladness and also happiness to the people around them.
This is the case of this man of the people, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, MON. The news was everywhere. In fact, it spread like a wild fire in a harmattan haze. The people jubilated. They danced and thumbed their chest in ecstasy.
In Abuja, the Nigerian Federal Capital City and the Seat of Power and also the Match play ground, the news and event outcome was greatly encouraging and acknowledged and every Nigerian here was so happy, but the unknown enemies of Dr. Kalu and Nigeria.
In Umuahia- the Abia State Capital city, Aba the Enyimba base and other cities in Nigeria the joy was uncontrollable, the excitement electrifying and the people where in their apex of happiness. It was chatting and dancing especially in Lagos.
What was the news, we are taking about? The news was Victory. Victory for excellence, victory with pride and celebration of victory for our own darling sports loving Governor Orji Uzor Kalu (MON) and his own Enyimba International Football club of Nigeria based in Aba Abia State Nigeria.
Governor Orji Uzor Kalu is not new to winning awards and honours. He is not new in making a difference and breaking jinx in leadership. Governor Kalu under his administration as the Abia State Governor determined and focused to making a difference in the African and Nigerian Sports. He personally fortified, supported, sponsored and blended the Enyimba Football club of Aba to became the first and only Nigerian club side to have captured the Confederation of Africa Footballs Cup(CAF) cup of champions, and therefore making Nigeria proud to belong and benefit in championship in the African football curriculum. he broke the Nigerian football emancipation jinx and built and supported Nigerian and especially Abia State Sports to the extent that sports became a hot context in the Abia State curriculum. Dr. Kalu, the leader with a difference after breaking the jinx of soccer in Nigeria went ahead to conquer Africa and making Nigeria to become dominant in the African football teams by picking the CAF's Champions cup the 2nd time again at Abuja, Nigeria after defeating their Tunisian counterparts.
This our sports loving and the only action Governor in Nigeria, who is an intending but aspiring President of Nigeria come 2007 became the first and only champion that has the sole and Automatic ticket to the Nigeria Federal Seat of Power come May, 2007.
The people celebrated and the Majority of Nigerian because of the achievements of this man is in unison in their unequivocal support for the government, leadership and aspiration/ambitions of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and they demonstrated this much by their massive turn-out and joy at the achievements of this our man and his own Enyimba Boys. They confessed that the Governor has performed and therefore should be given a chance and as well supported wholly, because he is a true patriot and Achiever who has made Nigeria indeed proud and fame in his time and more because he did all these with merge resources compounded with determination.
One then would wonder, what would happen should Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu become President of Nigeria come 2007. I guess and believe, this sports loving and the Peoples action Governor would definitely capture the 2010 world cup which has been a wanted and awaited miracle least thought by the International powers that Africans are due to win or capture.
He is a master jinx breaker and as well a master strategist. He represent a great part of the AFRICA mans future... Let’s give him a chance!!!
