2027: Bende Traditional Rulers Disown LP Candidate Anyaso on Rotation Document, Allege Forgery
Traditional rulers in Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State have disowned and dissociated themselves from a document circulating as a purported 2019 agreement on representation and rotation for the seat
In Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State, traditional rulers have distanced themselves from a document that alleges a 2019 agreement on representation and rotation for the House of Representatives seat. The Labour Party (LP) candidate, Chima Anyaso, has been linked to the circulating document, which purportedly saw the Deputy Speaker of the House, Benjamin Okezie Kalu, along with traditional rulers from Bende North and Bende South, sign an 8-year rotation agreement.
The Director General of the Benjamin Kalu Movement, Hon. Emma Trumps Eke, who signed the document, has debunked the claims, stating the document is a forgery. Eke further noted discrepancies in the document's content, such as the date and font style, and questioned the necessity of seeking the same remedies twice. Traditional rulers from Bende South and Bende North have also issued separate disclaimers, rejecting their names and signatures on the document.
