From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Chief Chika Uhuaba, has commended the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, for his peace initiative in the South East.
Uhuaba who is the coordinator of Isiala Ngwa South “Peace in South East Project (PISEP) Club 17 Peace initiative”, a brainchild of the deputy speaker, attributed the peace currently enjoyed in most parts of the South East region to the unparalleled leadership qualities of Kalu.
The party chieftain who made these known while addressing the Local government Executive chapter of Club 17 Peace initiative at her Isiala Ngwa South secretariat, Omoba also commended Kalu for his unwavering political sagacity.
“It is this political astuteness of the Reps deputy speaker which gave birth to the signing of the South East Development Commission bill into law by President Ahmed Tinubu.”
Uhuaba equally commended Kalu for the pragmatic manner he has championed the demands of South East, with its attendant results.
“The pragmatic manner in which the DSP has championed the demands of the region coupled with the results he has achieved so far have reassured the region that it is still an integral part of the Nigeria project,” Uhuaba stated.
