Deputy Speaker Of HoR, Benjamin Kalu To Contest Abia Guber Race

Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu of the House of Representatives signaled his intention to enter the 2027 Abia governorship race.

Kalu stated that an important announcement about his governorship ambition will be made at the proper constitutional location in Umuahia, the center of the state's political authority.

He said, “I am now in Isialangwa, and they’re saying, ‘Come and run for governor.’ The same way I answered the people of Bende, the same way I answered the people of Obingwa, is the same way I will answer you.

“I have received your request for me to run for governor of Abia state, but I will respond. I will respond in the coming days because I don’t want to do it local government by local government. I want to invite all of you to the capital.

“When we talk about governorship, when we talk about leading the people of Abia State, there is only one place the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has listed as the right place, the right jurisdiction to exercise the power of the office of the governor, and that is not in any other place but Umuahia.

“It will not be in Isialangwa. It will not be in Obingwa or Aba. It will be in Umuahia. So wait for our invitation. We are going to invite you in a few days to come. All of you will come in your numbers and make that request again there at the state capital. When I hear it clearly on that day, I will respond.”

This man is the most delusional politician I have ever come across. He should make sure that he doesn't do that Akpabio abracadabra so he can lose both his HoR seat and gubernatorial election

I don't even know what he thinks he is. I see him more as a jester than as a politician.

A very good man. He will win handsomely.

Ministerial slot is waiting for him.
But i think he should remain in the reps, he may be the Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2027.
Let him roll his dice well, because I'm fully sure that he's not going to win even one LGA in Abia state including his constituency he's representing, they can only vote for him for Senate or rep member, but he can't win Orji Uzor kalu in the Senate, and he's already tired of house of rep, that's why he's eyeing governorship.
Alex Ikweche have supporters in Abia State than him, he's representing the most populated area of the state, and also an indigin of Benjamin Kalu constituency and also loved by his people, he's slowly preparing for his governorship ambition after Alex Otti.

He is free to contest.
But Otti will still win.

I think Alex Ikwechegh is positioning himself to become the next governor after Alex Otti, that's if both of them don't come from the same senatorial district. Dude came from a place of privilege, having had an uncle who was former Imo State military governor.

They didn't advise this man well. In Aba, even the mad men love Alex Otti.

You and I know he won't risk it. It's all part of APC's pressure tactics to get Alex Otti to decamp to the party but Otti won't gamble his electoral chances away by joining the APC.
Re: Deputy Speaker Of HoR, Benjamin Kalu To Contest Abia Guber Race by casualobserver: 7:43pm On Apr 09
the guy is a clown! I dont buy into the Otti hype but he is a far better human being.

This Egbon just want to waste his money. If they keep you up with a stone on the ballot box Abians will vote for the stone. After years of tears, sorrow and sufferings God heard the cries of Abians and sent Oti to liberate them you want to come and contest? Ehn mr no 6 man of the country lol.
Re: Deputy Speaker Of HoR, Benjamin Kalu To Contest Abia Guber Race by Excellent93(m): 12:02am On Apr 10
Another joint handiwork of mumurity of a man grin
If otti rule finish the wife will come next
No idiot of APC will enter there
Abia is God's own state not for demonic BATs
Please all agent of darkness stay off abia state is progressing. The gate of hell will not prevail

you don't buy into the Oti's hype because you aren't from Abia state, ask Abians what they witness under Kalu, Theodore and the clown ikpeazu? Ikpeazu that was giving 500naira to women that must put to bed omo!! Theodore, that one and his son turned Abia state treasury to cash and carry. Kalu still tried a bit, but leave Ndi Abia for their God sent messiah Oti.
Re: Deputy Speaker Of HoR, Benjamin Kalu To Contest Abia Guber Race by Henjor48(m): 12:07am On Apr 10
He wants to waste his money because Abians won't vote for any other candidate apart Alex Otti, the incumbent governor.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Is he the one that slapped an Uber driver?

He will cry blood when he remembers how much he had spent and how he will lose in both side. He will get some votes in Umuahia but in Aba; he should forget it.
