Senator Austin Akobundu has described Senator T.A. Orji as a leader in a class of his own.

In a birthday message released today to the former governor, Senator Akobundu said “Ochendo Global,” as Senator Orji is popularly known, will remain a significant part of Abia’s history. He praised Senator Orji’s political legacy, noting that his decision to voluntarily leave the political stage for others to carry on will forever be cherished and serve as a valuable lesson to political leaders in Abia and beyond.

While wishing the former governor, who also represented Abia Central in the Senate from 2015 to 2023, a happy birthday, Akobundu prayed for more years in good health and happiness.
