Chief Orim remains one of the very few from our OBO constituency who left visible, tangible impacts despite limited resources. Many others had the same opportunity but did little or nothing. He proved that leadership is not about personal gain, but about service.
“Those who are faithful with little will be faithful with much.” Let us support Chief Martin Orim for greater service to our people.
