The office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has dismissed a report in the media which claimed that he had declared his intention to contest for the governorship seat of Abia State in 2027.
Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, Levinus
Nwabugbiogu, who issued the statement on Sunday, said that Kalu was only focused on his four-year mandate of
representing Bende Federal constituency and Nigerians at large.
The statement which demanded a retraction of the report by
its publishers, alleged that the news was published without accuracy and
designed to misinform the people.
“We categorically state that the report is baseless,
unfounded, and lacks credibility.
“The Deputy Speaker has not made any declaration, either
privately or publicly, to contest for the governorship of Abia State in 2027,”
he said.
However, the statement said that the “political family” of
the Deputy Speaker, will announce his
intentions at the appropriate time.
