The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has extended an invitation to Abia state governor, Alex Otti, to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). This call was made during a Town Hall Meeting organized by Kalu in his hometown of Agbamuzu, located in the Bende Local Government Area. Kalu assured Governor Otti of full support from the party if he decides to defect.
Kalu emphasized that the APC remains open to leaders who are willing to work collectively to strengthen the party and advance its political objectives in Abia. He noted that it is an honor to return home and engage with his constituents, highlighting the collaborative efforts of the legislature and the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to work for the benefit of Nigerians.
As a representative of his constituents, Kalu reiterated his commitment to accountability and his belief that Nigeria’s best days are ahead. He also called on Nigerians to support President Tinubu, the APC, and its Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing that the current administration is focused on building a lasting legacy for future generations.
The invitation to Governor Otti comes as the APC continues to strive for growth and unity in Abia state. With the party’s commitment to collective leadership and strengthening its presence in the region, the potential defection of Governor Otti could significantly impact the state’s political landscape.
As the APC works to advance its objectives, the support of key leaders like Governor Otti could play a crucial role in shaping the party’s future in Abia. The development is being closely watched, and the response from Governor Otti is eagerly anticipated. The move could have implications for the political dynamics in Abia state and the broader Nigerian political scene.
