‘Tinubu Has Tried For The Igbos – Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has applauded President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to the Igbos, especially through the creation of the South East Development Commission (SEDC).

Naija News reports that Kalu while speaking on Saturday during an empowerment programme organised by the lawmaker representing the Ukwa East/Ukwa West federal constituency, Chris Nkwonta, said the establishment of the Commission would essentially cater to the region’s infrastructure needs.

According to him, Tinubu has done so much for the Igbos, stressing that he is the only president to remember Igbos after 54 years.

He said, “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.”

At the event held in Ndoki, Ukwa East LGA of the state, over 3,000 members from various political parties reportedly defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Meanwhile, the Chief Imam of Lekki Central Mosque, Ridhwan Jamiu, says President Bola Tinubu has not disappointed those who canvassed votes for him in the build-up to the 2023 elections.

Speaking on Friday, 27th December, Jamiu prayed for Tinubu’s success in leading Nigeria.

Naija News reports the Chief Imam made the submissions when President Tinubu observed the Jumat prayer at the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos alongside the Muslim faithful.

He also assured the President of the steadfast prayers and support of the Muslim Ummah as he governs the nation.

Imam Jamiu offered prayers for the President’s success in leading Nigeria towards peace, security, and prosperity.
