Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has praised President Bola Tinubu for his dedication to the development of the Igbo people, particularly through the establishment of the South East Development Commission (SEDC).
Kalu made the remarks on Saturday during an empowerment program organized by Chris Nkwonta, the lawmaker representing Ukwa East/Ukwa West Federal Constituency.
The event, held in Ndoki, Ukwa East Local Government Area, saw over 3,000 members from various political parties defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

While addressing the crowd, Kalu expressed confidence that more defectors would soon join the party, as the people were pleased with the President’s creation of the SEDC.
He emphasized that the Commission would focus on addressing the region’s critical infrastructure needs.
“The president has tried for Ndigbo. He is still trying for Ndigbo. He is the only man that remembered Ndigbo after 54 years that a promise of reconstruction, reconciliation and rehabilitation was made to Ndigbo,” Kalu said.
