Ben Kalu: It’s risky for APC to ignore south-east in n’assembly leadership positions | TheCable
Speaking on Sunday in an interview with Channels Television, Kalu dismissed insinuations that the south-east does not deserve the position of deputy speaker considering the votes scored by the All Progressives Congress in the zone.
Some lawmakers, including Idris Wase, the outgoing deputy speaker, had rejected the party’s nominations.Abbas is from the north-west zone of the country while Kalu hails from the south-east. He said the south-east did not hold any top leadership positions in the 9th national assembly, adding that it would be a “big risk” for the APC to neglect the zone in the 10th assembly.“The difference between the administration that we are expecting our president-elect is that he knows the importance of healing. The journey to the 2027 elections starts with what we do now,” he said.
“The strongest argument here is how we will incorporate all the beautiful efforts of the diversified parts of the country and come together to work for what we preach. It is by unity, peace and progress.
