The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has been engaging with stakeholders in his Bende Federal Constituency in Abia state to build a strong foundation for his political career. Kalu's approach of meeting people in their communities, including in palaces, churches, and village squares, has become a defining feature of his representation and has deepened the relationship between the lawmaker and his constituents.
This grassroots engagement has yielded positive results, as stakeholders across the constituency have pointed to Kalu's performance, visibility, and the projects and interventions he has brought to the area. The traditional rulers, in particular, have been vocal in their support for Kalu's bid for a third term in 2027, emphasizing that performance should be the basis for continuity.
Similarly, the clergy have joined the conversation, engaging with Kalu on issues affecting their institutions and communities. Many of the people Kalu has met during his consultations are now urging him to continue his journey in the House of Representatives.
