Kalu Declares South-East Support for Tinubu in 2027 Election
Benjamin Kalu (Rep, Bende), the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council 11 (South), declared that the South-East region has unanimously agreed to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in the upcoming 2027 elections. This announcement was made during the APC Women’s Mobilisation Campaign and South-East Women Empowerment Programme in Enugu, organized by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu.
Kalu praised Tinubu for his goodwill towards the Igbo people, recalling his tenure as governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007, during which he appointed several Igbo individuals, including Ben Akabueze, to his cabinet. Kalu criticized previous administrations for neglecting the South-East and highlighted Tinubu's signing of the South-East Development Commission Bill as a significant commitment to the region.
He urged the Igbo community to vote for Tinubu and Shettima in the presidential election scheduled for January 16, 2027.
