Reps Deputy Speaker canvasses Igbo support for Tinubu’s second term

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu has canvassed the support of the Igbo nation for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second term in office, saying the President deserves a second term considering the successes so far recorded through bold economic, social and political reforms in the last two years.

Speaking when he received separately on a courtesy call in Umuahia, the Tinubu Mandate Support group, Abia State Chapter, led by. Armstrong Okoronkwo and Club 17 Initiative members, led by Prince George Nnanna, Kalu urged the South-Easterners to support his reelection bid by voting massively in 2027.

The Deputy Speaker described President Tinubu as a progressive Nigerian who wants to leave a legacy, make a good shift in the way the nation is built and is intentional about the country.

While commending the group for their voter mobilization efforts for the President, Kalu urged the Igbos to “partner with our brothers in the Southwest and give President Bola Ahmed Tinubu all the support that he needs”.

Kalu said, “That was a good motivation, thank you. You’re the partners we’ve been waiting for. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a good product to be sold for a second term. I believed in him a long time 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 Ahmed 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, bringing us closer.”

Addressing the delegation from club 17 Initiative, the Deputy Speaker expressed optimism that the APC would win the 2027 gubernatorial election in Abia State.

Kalu commended the group for the work they’re doing, assuring them of his support always.

He also assured Abians and Ndi Igbo that APC will be made stronger in Abia to win future elections.

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 working assiduously to ensure President Tinubu’s reelection.

“We are happy to associate with you, our focus is to go from house to house to tell them about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Tell them what he’s doing for the South East and for Abia State in particular. The wisdom of choosing you as the Deputy Speaker has brightened our chances politically.

“We need your support to Kickstart campaign for Tinubu, because he’s doing much and no one is talking to people. If we can spread out and begin to talk to people, we’ll make good success. We are coming out as Igbos to make sure we give him the needed support and ensure his reelection”.
