As the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ben Kalu holds a position of influence and authority in the Nigerian government.
Recently, he made a statement urging the people of the South-east geo-political zone to support the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
In his remarks, Mr. Kalu emphasized that President Tinubu has been fair to the people of the zone, also known as Ndi Igbo.
This call for support comes at a crucial time in Nigerian politics, as the country faces numerous challenges and opportunities.
The South-east geo-political zone has historically been marginalized and underrepresented in the federal government, leading to feelings of neglect and disenfranchisement among its people.
However, Mr. Kalu's endorsement of President Tinubu suggests that there may be a new era of inclusivity and cooperation on the horizon.
During the inauguration dinner of Martins Azubuike, a pioneer federal commissioner in the newly established Civil Service Commission for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu took the opportunity to highlight the importance of unity and collaboration among all Nigerians.
Mr. Azubuike, a former Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, is now representing the South-east geo-political zone in the FCT commission, signaling a significant step towards greater representation and empowerment for the region.
In his speech, Benjamin Kalu emphasized the need for the people of the South-east to rally behind President Tinubu and his administration.
He praised the president for his efforts to promote fairness and equality for all Nigerians, including those from the South-east.
By supporting President Tinubu, Mr. Kalu believes that the people of the zone can help to shape a more inclusive and prosperous future for themselves and their fellow citizens.
As a memoir of this momentous occasion, Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu's words serve as a reminder of the power of unity and collaboration in achieving common goals.
By coming together to support a common cause, the people of the South-east can help to build a stronger and more vibrant Nigeria for future generations.
With leaders like Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu and President Tinubu at the helm, there is hope for a brighter future for all Nigerians, regardless of their background or ethnicity.
In conclusion, Mr. Kalu's call for support for President Tinubu is a testament to the importance of unity and cooperation in Nigerian politics.
By working together towards a common goal, the people of the South-east can help to shape a more inclusive and equitable future for themselves and their fellow citizens.
As we look towards the future, let us remember the words of Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu and strive to build a better Nigeria for all.
