Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s innovative approach to conflict resolution in the South East region, citing a significant reduction in crises.
Speaking at the ECOWAS Parliament’s 2024 First Ordinary Session, Kalu praised Tinubu’s non-kinetic approach, which prioritizes dialogue and understanding over military force. He noted that this paradigm shift has led to a decrease in tensions and enabled the release of agitators from prison through political solutions.
Kalu encouraged ECOWAS to adopt this approach in resolving similar conflicts, highlighting its success in the South East region. He also congratulated President Tinubu on his reelection as Chairman of ECOWAS Authority of Heads of States and Governments.
The Deputy Speaker expressed hope that this approach will continue to yield positive results, promoting peace and infrastructural development in the region through initiatives like the Peace In South East Project (PISE-P).
