Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, who represented Abia North Senatorial District in the Eighth Senate, has said his regret over the incarceration of Senator Orji Kalu is the abandonment of constituency projects begun in the area during his tenure. Ohuabunwa contested the 2019 poll on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party but lost to Kalu of the All Progressives Congress. Kalu was, however, convicted of N7.56 billion fraud on December 5 and sentenced to 12 years in prison. I am worried and bothered that the district does not have a voice in the senate. He also said that the skill acquisition centre at Umunneochi Local Government Area, although completed, had yet to be equipped.
