The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has made major political inroads across the South-East and parts of the South-South, leaving only Abia State yet to align with the party’s broader objectives.
Speaking on TVC News, Kalu expressed confidence in the spread of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda across the region.
He noted that Imo State and Akwa Ibom State are showing strong cooperation with the federal government.
He also commended Chukwuma Soludo, stating that although Anambra State is not controlled by the APC, its leadership aligns with the Renewed Hope reforms.
According to Kalu, the only South-East state currently outside this expanding circle of influence is Abia, which is governed by Alex Otti of the Labour Party.
His remarks signal the APC’s determination to strengthen its structure in Abia ahead of future elections.
