Deputy Speaker of the House of House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has said President Bola Tinubu is happy to see Ndigbo gather for the noble cause of stamping out insecurity and resolving other sociological challenges through the Peace In South East Project (PISE-P).
Kalu who stated this at an interactive session with the members of Bende Traditional Rulers Council and Ndi Ugoeze Bende at the weekend, said Tinubu was interested in the development of the South East.
In a statement by his chief press secretary, Livinus Nwabughiogu, Kalu urged the traditional rulers to support the government of the day to reap more benefits therefrom.
The lawmaker promised to attract more dividends of democracy to Bende, pledging not to disappoint them.
He urged the traditional rulers to support the government of Dr Alex Otti of Abia to develop the state.
He said: “Wherever Ndi Igbo see themselves, they encourage peace and harmony. We thank you for holding these values. I am your representative in the House of Representatives. I did not get there on my own. It was you that elected me. And this is why Abia state honored me. A few days ago, the Governor of the state, Dr. Alex Otti who is not a member of my party decided to honour me with a high title in Abia. He told the Abia State traditional rulers council to confer on me ‘Enyi Abia” (Strength of Abia). He must have seen something in your son.”
