Speaking in a telephone interview with journalists moments after his inauguration, Chief Ezenwa was emphatic that his election represents a turning point for the Orlu community both in Abuja and back home in Imo State.

“I can assure you that my election as the President-General of the Orlu Zonal Progressive Union Abuja marks a new dawn for our union and for the entire Orlu people here in the Federal Capital Territory and back home in Imo State,” he said. “This mandate is not mine alone; it is a collective call to service, a responsibility to advance the unity, peace, and development of our people.”

“We also encourage our representatives at the National Assembly to close ranks, unite with all stakeholders, and channel their efforts towards the empowerment and advancement of the good people of Orlu zone as my administration will work with all our federal lawmakers.

“We will also work with the traditional institutions in the state for the development and progress of the people of Orlu zone in particular and Imo State in general,”he further affirmed.

Looking ahead, the new President-General declared that his administration would be defined by inclusivity, purposeful leadership, and concrete results. “This is a time for collaboration with every stakeholder, a time for vision, and a time for action,” he concluded. “With unity, commitment, and purposeful leadership, we will build a stronger Orlu, a more prosperous community, and a brighter future for generations to come.”
