No Polling Units On Social Media — Deputy Speaker Fires Back At Critics (Video) by Metrix147(op): 9:18pm On Dec 30, 2025
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu has dismissed social media attacks against him, insisting that elections are decided at polling units, not online platforms.

Kalu made the remark while addressing members of the All Progressives Congress and his supporters during the Renewed Hope town hall meeting held in Bende LGA, Abia State.

Responding to what he described as persistent insults and coordinated attacks by hired social media agents, the Deputy Speaker warned critics against mistaking online noise for political strength.

“You can insult me all you want on social media, but on election day, I will remind you that there are no polling units on social media,” Kalu declared.

He[b] explained that his ongoing empowerment programmes and grassroots engagements across Abia State are being deliberately misinterpreted by opponents as signs of a 2027 governorship ambition, stressing that he has not declared for the race.

Kalu maintained that genuine political victory is achieved through direct engagement with the people, adding that the expanding APC grassroots structures across the state are focused on mobilising voters and securing future electoral success, particularly for President Bola Tinubu.

The Deputy Speaker reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the party at the grassroots and urged supporters to remain focused, disciplined, and connected to the electorate rather than being distracted by online provocations.

Some politicians think they can gain relevance by verbally attacking someone who is loved by majority of his people

The confidence and arrogance of APC politicians is only borne out of the criminal infrastructure behind them.

Nothing else.

It's only a fool that will queue up to vote a Nigerian politician whom he doesn't know personally, or knows someone that knows him

Even if your god Obi becomes president, nothing will reach you if you don't know someone that has links to him


That is how the country is structured.

For me, I rather die than vote in a Nigerian election

Do we need to know them personally like family members before good governance gets to us?

Of course.

The polling units on the ground are riddled with paid thugs, devious polling agents, and other nefarious individuals strategically placed to frustrate & discourage voting.

We already know the way, sir.

Good governance cannot and will never get to "everybody" going by the current structure.

For you to benefit a little, you need to have direct or indirect links to people in charge.

Have you ever heard of the word "my connect?"

That is why we need good governance, to change the current structure. So it can reach everybody.
