Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has praised President Bola Tinubu for his efforts in promoting the welfare of the Igbo people, making him the first president to do so since the civil war. Kalu made this statement during a community outreach program organized by Chris Nkwonta, a member of the House of Representatives representing Ukwa East/Ukwa West federal constituency.
The event, which took place in Ndoki, Ukwa East Local Government Area, witnessed the defection of over 3,000 people from various political parties to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Kalu attributed this mass defection to the people’s appreciation for Tinubu’s commitment to the development of the Igbo people, particularly through the establishment of the Southeast Development Commission (SEDC).
“President Tinubu has shown genuine concern for the Igbo people, and his efforts have started yielding positive results,” Kalu said. “He is the first president to demonstrate such commitment to the Igbo people since the civil war. His administration’s policies, especially the SEDC, have brought hope to the people.”
Kalu emphasized that Tinubu’s leadership has brought justice, fairness, and progress to the Igbo people. He noted that the president’s signing of the SEDC bill into law is a testament to his commitment to addressing the region’s developmental challenges.
As the leader of our party, President Tinubu has directed us to strengthen our relationship with the people and make them aware of his administration’s developmental policies for the Igbo people,” Kalu said. “By joining the APC, you will benefit from the party’s people-oriented policies. We welcome you to our party, and we are confident that you will find a sense of belonging.”
