Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has called on political leaders and stakeholders across the Southern region to maintain unity ahead of the 2027 general elections in order to consolidate support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Kalu made the call on Saturday while speaking at the South East Stakeholders’ Meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held in Enugu, Enugu State. He stressed that a united Southern political corridor remains critical to strengthening the party’s influence and ensuring continued national relevance.
According to the Deputy Speaker, internal divisions and fragmented alliances within the region could significantly weaken its political bargaining power at the national level. He warned that disunity would reduce the South East’s ability to mobilise sufficient votes to decisively influence electoral outcomes.
He urged party leaders and stakeholders to rise above personal interests and sectional disagreements, noting that collective effort and strategic cooperation are essential for achieving long-term political gains. Kalu further emphasized that unity within the APC across the South would not only support President Tinubu’s agenda but also create opportunities for greater inclusion and development for the region.
The meeting brought together key APC figures from the South East to deliberate on party unity, governance, and strategies ahead of future elections.
