The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, on Saturday claimed that President Bola Tinubu is the messiah that the Southeast has been waiting for since the end of the Biafra civil war.
Kalu made the remark while noting that the South-East will
ensure that Tinubu is reelected in 2027.
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives spoke
during the All Progressives Congress, APC, women's empowerment rally in Enugu
State.
He said Tinubu loves people of the South-East, claiming that
when he was governor, nobody arrested or confiscated their properties in Lagos
State.
Kalu recalled how Tinubu appointed Ben Akabueze to his
cabinet while he was governor of Lagos State.
He said: "For now our mandate is to support the man
that has been supporting us, this man has not hidden his love for Ndi-Igbo,
when he was the governor of Lagos State, no Igbo property was taken, no Igbo
who was a businessman was arrested.
"Then he was the only man who brought an Igbo man into
his cabinet, Ben Akabueze, it has never happened before.
"I need to remind you that after the civil war we
waited for 60 years for the promise that was made to the people of Igboland
that was not kept. The three Rs they taught us in government, Reconciliation,
Reconstruction, and Reintegration; government after government ignored us.
Administrations after administrations ignored the Igbos and we were waiting
when will the messiah come to save the Igbos.
"Then came a man who loved the Igbos from his heart,
the Southeast Development Commission has been going to the parliament from year
to year, assembly to assembly and they refused to sign it, but when Tinubu
came, the Southeast Development Commission became a commission.
"He gave us bridge, roads, and scholarship, why won't
we reelect him again, he will return again."
