On the occasion of their first anniversary in office, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima. According to Kalu, the Tinubu-led administration has renewed the hope of Nigerians by laying a new foundation for a better future.
Kalu commended President Tinubu’s strides in infrastructural development and his efforts to enthrone good governance at the grassroots by granting full autonomy to local government areas. He also praised the President’s commitment to security, including his support for state policing, which will effectively tackle the rising wave of insecurity nationwide.
The Deputy Speaker applauded the President’s support for the Peace in South East Project (PISE-P), an initiative that seeks a non-kinetic approach to solving sociological issues in the South East region. This, he said, is an assurance of the President’s resolve for a united Nigeria.
Kalu acknowledged that the country may not be where it should be, but appealed to Nigerians to be patient and hopeful in the renewed hope agenda of the President. He expressed confidence that the President would not fail the people, having provided leadership and shown the way out of the current economic woes.
“I appeal to Nigerians to be patient with the administration. However, the President needs our support. He needs our prayers to succeed,” Kalu said.
