A total of 86 constituents of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Okezie Kalu belonging to other political parties have defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The constituents were members of the ruling Labour Party (LP) in the State, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Young Progressives Party (PDP) in Ugwueke/Ezeukwu Ward in Bende Federal Constituency of Abia which Kalu represents in the National Assembly.
A statement by Kalu’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Levinus Nwabughiogu states that amongst the decampees is a notable PDP youth leader, Arthur Paul Chukwu Ota.
Receiving the decampees into APC during his visit to the Ward to express his gratitude to the constituents for their votes and support in the last general election, the deputy speaker commends them for their decision to join the ruling party at the center.
He says that APC under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has healed the wounds of the people of the south east sustained during the civil war by signing the South East Development Commission (SEDC) bill into law 54 years after.
Kalu assures that the Commission will create jobs and provide the infrastructural needs of the people in the region.
Kalu charges the people to keep supporting President Tinubu, saying that he means well for the nation.
He also distributed some bags of rice and fertilizers to support the people in agriculture as well as some cash donations.
Upon his arrival earlier, the deputy speaker and his entourage were received by the former minority leader of Abia State House of Assembly, Chijioke Chukwu, the Ugwueke Traditional Rulers Council and women and youth associations who gave them a rousing welcome to the Ward.
