Orlu, a city in Imo State, Nigeria, had been designated by the state administration as the commercial nerve center of the State.
Unbeknown to that administration, Orlu had also been designated by the Lord to be the focus of a CfaN crusade in the 2003-2004 “Double-Harvest” season.

 Nigeriaworld Feature Article - The National Assembly and the sixth South-East State
Imo State is composed of the old Orlu, and the old Owerri senatorial zones as well as the remnants (by far the largest portion) of the old Okigwe senatorial zone.
The proposed Njaba state with 14 LGA's apart from being the densest with indigenous population in Nigeria, the Orlu senatorial zone (which forms the major part of the proposed Njaba state) with 12 local government areas is among the most populous, if not the most indigenously populated senatorial zone in Nigeria.
The parts of Anambra state being proposed to merge with the Orlu senatorial zone for the proposed Njaba state have for ages had a lot of historical ties to the Orlu area.

In a swift reaction, the National President of Orlu Peoples Consultative Assembly (OPOCA), Chief Stanfo Nwankwo, and the Organization's National Secretary, Chief Elvis Agukwe, commended the people of the zone for expressing in clear terms their displeasure on "unpopular candidate who had tormented the people of Orlu in the past".

If, indeed, the Orlu political establishment has become as authoritative and powerful as it claims, the thing to do is to wait for Nzeribe at the polls next year.
Nzeribe’s kinsmen in Orlu have contributed quite a lot in building around him such a myth, at least by giving him their mandate each time he asked for it.
It means, therefore, that the leaders of the area should return to the drawing board because it should dawn on them that the Orlu State quest would remain a mere dream unless both sides of the current duel sheath their swords now.

 Vanguard -Viewpoint : OPOCA: The breeding of a monster in Imo
In the din of power shift from Orlu to either Okigwe or Owerri zones, people were alarmed when OPOCA started transforming into a sectional monster which was not averse to devouring its own, shifting posture from a docile political pressure group to irredentism, such that Imo State was literally put on fire.
At a suspect political summit, they bid to rubbish the political records of known Orlu sons and daughters whose sin is that they do not agree with the guerilla tactics of the modern day rag-tag army.
That the summit itself was a colossal failure could be seen from the absence of notable Orlu sons.

Indigenes of the area, drawn from Orlu, Orsu and Oru East Local Government Areas also stated that their decision was informed by a random survey of the constituency which clearly showed that the governor was one of the few credible candidates who deserved a second term.

For instance, the Orlu Senatorial zone of the state is being accused of trying to turn the apple cart of the state's political equation.
It was not because Orlu believed that it was the turn of Owerri indigenes that they lost at the primaries.
Observers expressed the belief that it is natural for politicians to fly a kite for bargaining purposes but when the kite is flown by the governor of the state, the supposed father of all, then something becomes fishy.

He said that it would be greed for the same Orlu zone which produced governor Udenwa who is about completing his second tenure to field a candidate for the state's top most job in 2007.
Though Chief Ihekweme admitted that the 1999 constitution does not recognize zoning, he however declared that Orlu zone and indeed Governor Udenwa should toe the line of President Olusegun Obasanjo who has advised his kinsmen from the South West to forget the presidency for now.
He said that Orlu and Owerri should allow Okigwe to take a turn in 2007 in the interest of equity and fairness.

If Nzeribe had decided to remain in the APP, or, in fact, any of other rival party, it would be a feat for the PDP to defeat him, the incumbency factor notwithstanding, as far as the senatorial seat is concerned.
Incidentally Nzeribe has at a fund raising forum organised by the Orlu Zone of PDP on March 31, 2002, stated, while making a donation of 10 million naira, that he joined the party in order to contribute to the prosecution of the Orlu Agenda.
Given that nobody could have prevented him from joining the party since he has the constitutional, legal and democratic rights to do so, the thing is that the party hierarchy in the state should focus on how best to make use of his presence.

For the acclaimed Czar of Orlu politics, Nzeribe’s defeat by a man generally regarded as his protégé may have broken the myth of his invincibility.

According to Ehirim, “The relevance theory is championed by Orlu zone, which by 2007 shall have been in office for two full terms of eight years.
This position is hinged on the fact that even though the Governorship seat was zoned to Orlu, both Owerri and Okigwe zones fiercely contested for the seat against the incumbent in 1999 and 2003 by Chief Humphrey Anumudu and Hon.
Political pundits have pinned down this agitation to quest for relevance of Orlu zone in the power calculus of the state beyond 2007.” In addition, the zoning may be limited to the PDP platform.
