In a move that has sent ripples through the political landscape of the Southeast, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has formally extended an olive branch—and a political invitation—to the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, urging him to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The invitation, which comes amidst heightening speculations regarding the 2027 general elections, marks a significant shift in the rhetoric between the two political heavyweights. While Kalu has previously been vocal about the APC’s intentions to “reclaim” Abia State, this direct overture suggests a strategy of consolidation rather than outright confrontation.
