LPDC Dismisses Allegations Against Deputy Speaker Ben Kalu
The Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) dismissed a petition against Ben Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, regarding allegations of false declarations related to his participation in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme. The petition, filed by John Aikpokpo Martin, sought to challenge Kalu's qualifications as a legal practitioner.
The LPDC found no basis to sustain the allegations and dismissed the case, indicating that the claims were part of a broader attempt to discredit Kalu amid his growing political profile. Kalu has been recognized for his articulate legislative contributions and efforts to strengthen Nigeria's democratic framework.
The dismissal of the complaint serves as a clear response to the unfounded rumors circulating in public discourse, which often aim to undermine the legitimacy of influential political figures in Nigeria.
