Deputy Speaker Praises Tinubu’s Leadership Style

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Benjamin Kalu says his decision to rally support for the second bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stemmed from his display of statesmanship and the sense of belonging extended to the South East geopolitical zone.

According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Levinus Nwabughiogu, Kalu notes that despite scoring low votes from the region in the 2023 elections, the President has continued to prioritize equitable distribution of high profile political offices across the country.

He also says that the administration has pursued sincere policies and programmes that will put Nigeria on a good economic pedestal, saying it will not only benefit the present generation but also posterity.

The Deputy Speaker notes that the establishment of the South East Development Commission, SEDC, by the government showcased Tinubu as a President that does not discriminate against any region.

He adds that the creation of the Commission which he said eluded the region for over 50 years since the end of the civil war, will help to heal the wounds sustained therefrom.

Welcoming the group’s request to work with his Renewed Hope Partners (RHP), a platform initiated to showcase Tinubu’s giant strides across the country, the Deputy Speaker says the collaboration with the City Boy Movement founded by the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu will be impactful.

The deputy speaker also urged the southeast to support the President’s reelection bid.

Earlier in her presentation, the Zonal Leader of City Boy Movement, Mary Ikoku who lauded the legislative legacies of the Deputy Speaker said they would partner with Kalu’s RHP to realize the second term ambition of President Tinubu.
