Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has appealed to the lawmaker representing Obingwa West Constituency in Abia State House of Assembly, Erondu Uchenna Erondu, to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, and support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. Kalu made the appeal during a courtesy visit to Erondu, saying Erondu’s time in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expired. According to him, it is time for Erondu to join the APC and contribute to the party’s growth and development. The House of Representatives Deputy Speaker assured that the APC has a bigger platform for everyone and urged the lawmaker to bring his team to join the party. He lauded Erondu for the empowerment he held in Obingwa council and the people to join the Renewed Hope Partners, a group working to promote President Tinubu’s agenda at the grassroots level. “My reason for coming here is because I promised my host that I will grace his empowerment programme. But on that day, it was very difficult for me to come because of national assignments. I later called and told him I would still come. “We have come a long way together. We were local government chairmen at the same time. Some said we were too young at the time but we persisted and today, we are making impacts. I came to congratulate him on the successful outing. “I was monitoring virtually and I saw what you did. It was amazing. For a House of Assembly member to do what you did, it means you love your constituents. God will reward you. My message to ndi Obingwa is for you to continue supporting him for more democracy dividends,” he said.
