Kalu urges Southeast Asian support for Tinubu administration at APC stakeholders meeting

Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has rallied support for the Bola Tinubu-led administration, calling on the Southeast to align itself with efforts aimed at bringing development across Nigeria.

Speaking at the APC South East Stakeholders meeting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State on Sunday, Kalu stressed the need for collective action to ensure the achievement of national goals.

Addressing participants, Kalu outlined the achievements of the federal government under President Tinubu, highlighting economic reforms and sectoral improvements designed to improve living standards.

“President Tinubu’s administration has implemented bold economic reforms, including the unification of the FOREX market and increased investment in healthcare, education and infrastructure,” Kalu said, describing these initiatives as critical to boosting investor confidence and positioning Nigeria as a global economic player.

“In addition to legislative support from the National Assembly, these reforms have stabilized the economy and strengthened national security,” Kalu added, citing progress in securing the country and combating insurgency.

The Deputy Speaker also stressed the importance of political consolidation in Southeast Asia, and advocated for more states to come under the leadership of the APC. He acknowledged the challenges and called for concerted efforts to expand the party’s influence in the region.

“While celebrating our achievements, we must acknowledge the need for a broader political presence in Southeast Asia. With only two out of five states under APC rule, there is still a lot to be done,” Kalu urged party members to intensify efforts to win more states in the upcoming elections.

Kalu further stressed unity within the APC, noting that collective strength and cohesion are crucial to achieving the party’s goals. He urged stakeholders to leverage their strengths and work together to expand the APC’s footprint in Southeast Asia.

“Ours is not a journey of individual ambition but a journey of collective effort. We must unite and support each other to realize our shared vision of a prosperous Nigeria,” Kalu said, calling for continued commitment to national unity and progress.

The meeting, attended by APC members and officials, served as a platform to strategize how to increase the party’s presence in the Southeast and consolidate support for President Tinubu’s administration’s initiatives. As the discussions progressed, Kalu’s call for unity and proactive engagement resonated as a guiding principle for the party’s future efforts in the region.
