Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has said President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term considering the successes he recorded through bold economic, social and political reforms in the last two years, urging south-easterners to support his reelection bid by voting massively in 2027.
Kalu stated this when he received in Umuahia, the Tinubu mandate support group, Abia State chapter led by Hon. Armstrong Okoronkwo and Club 17 initiative members led by Prince George Nnanna.
Addressing the delegation from TMSG, the deputy speaker described Tinubu as a progressive Nigerian who wants to leave a legacy and make a good shift in the way the nation is built and is intentional about the country.
Commending the group for their voter mobilisation efforts for Tinubu, Kalu urged the Igbos to partner with the South West and give President Tinubu all the support that needs.
Kalu said: “You’re the partners we’ve been waiting for. President Bola Tinubu is a good product to be sold for second term. I believed in him longtime ago, but he first believed in me, started assisting me before I met him. I was one of those who went to meet him and beg him to run for president.
“I will continue to stand by him. He’s a progressive Nigerian who wants to leave a legacy.
God blessed him, he came to make a good shift in the way the nation is built. He loves and is intentional about the country. He’s doing a lot that has never been done.
“Our business is to tell the people the good work of President Tinubu’s agenda. Igbos should come together let’s give President Bola Tinubu all the support that he needs. We should invest our votes where there’s progress and that’s Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It’s on his mandate that we’re going to stand as Ndi Igbo. He came and started giving us relevance, brought us closer.”
Also, addressing the delegation from club 17 initiative, the deputy speaker expressed optimism that the APC would win the 2027 gubernatorial election in Abia State.
Earlier, the chairman of the Tinubu mandate support group, Okoronkwo commended the deputy speaker for the work he’s doing as a representative in the National Assembly, assuring him that they are work assiduously to ensure President Tinubu’s reelection.
