Former Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Uche Ogah, has declared his support for Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, in mobilizing voters and political structures in Abia State ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.

During a visit to the Renewed Hope Partners (RHP) office in Umuahia on Saturday, Dr. Ogah announced his readiness to join forces with the Deputy Speaker and other stakeholders to build grassroots momentum for the President’s campaign across the South East.

"My brother and friend, we have always worked together, and I have come today to join forces with you to make Renewed Hope Partners a success in Abia State. We will put in everything we have — our resources, our social capital — to ensure that this renewed hope partnership is a success," Dr. Ogah said.

He commended Deputy Speaker Kalu for his legislative efforts, particularly the bill establishing the South East Development Commission (SEDC), which addresses decades-long infrastructural neglect in the region.

In response, Rt. Hon. Kalu praised Ogah’s decision to align with the team, stressing the need for political unity and collaboration ahead of the polls.

"We need you on board with all the investments you have made in Abia politics. We are preparing for 2027 and will be touring the South East and beyond to showcase the President's achievements," Kalu remarked.

What ever two of them are doing I support them because they're closer to their people.

I see that majority of those that are complaining are lazy youths

Those baby politicians will say he does not matter, but they celebrated when Babachir Lawal the grass cutter joined them in 2023. By the end of the 2027 election, you all mugus will understand the importance of grassroot mobilization.

Ogah get baby face o. How old is this man really? Learnt he's a good man. Abia politics doesn't interest me.

Tinubu right now

Can you list those things he is doing in each region.
People should support the president because of his performance and not because they were persuaded to without concrete reason other than he is Mr. President

Seyi8750:

You can only mobilise mumu people.

Let me ask you, how many members of your family or household, your neighbours, your coworkers, your church members or those in your neighbourhood are in the midst of hardship?

And is there any time in history of humankind that we don’t have hungry people among us?

if you think Kalu can rally support for Tinubu in Abia State then you don't really know the relationship between Kalu and Abịa State. He doesn't have many supporters in Abia and majority of Abians see him as a failure, a sellout who has lost political relevance. They might throw pure water sachets at him if he comes to campaign for Tinubu in Aba.

How then does he keep winning election every time? Even when LP was clearing everywhere in SE with the failed obi tsunami,he still stood and won with the most hated party in SE as at then.If what you are saying isn't born out of hate,u are a shameless liar

Good to see the Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu CON galvanizing support for the President, we must learn to play National politics properly in order to place our demands when the time comes and also get the support of other regions.
What Ben is doing is to be supported by every progressive Southeastern.
We cannot continue to waste our votes every four years.

Is only people as them and online 30k supporters that's seeing what Tinubu is doing. Yet people are being killed all over the country and cost of things are still going up on a daily basis. So what exactly is the President doing?

Ogah should stop wasting his money. Hope he is not eyeing the seat of government in Abia state because it is effort in futility. If he is eyeing a ministry no problem.

Kalu will lose reelection if he carries Tinubu on his head.
