Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has said that President Bola Tinubu has accomplished more for the Southeast region than the number of votes he received from the zone during the 2023 election.

Speaking at the APC South-East zonal meeting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital, Kalu urged the region to support the Tinubu administration’s efforts to address perceived marginalization.

According to the report by The Cable on Monday, Kalu said that Tinubu has shown appreciation for the region through various appointments and initiatives.

He cited the finalization of the South-East Development Commission bill, awaiting the President’s assent, and efforts to create an additional state in the region.

Kalu also mentioned the call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu as a key to resolving security challenges in the zone.

He expressed gratitude to governors, senators, representatives, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and others who have supported these efforts.

The Deputy Speaker emphasized that the National Assembly, under APC leadership, will continue to leverage legislative interventions for South-East development and national progress.

He encouraged the region to reciprocate Tinubu’s goodwill by standing united in support of his visionary leadership.
