In a candid interview on TVC TV From 1:34, Benjamin Kalu, the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, provided a comprehensive breakdown of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s strategic approach to regional representation, particularly focusing on the Southeast’s unprecedented political inclusion.
“You can see what is happening in the Southeast,” Kalu emphasized, highlighting a series of significant appointments and developments. “Gradually, he has given us the Minister of Works, one of the biggest ministries.” This appointment represents a substantial shift in political power dynamics, providing the Southeast with a critical infrastructure leadership role.
Kalu drew attention to another strategic placement, noting, “He gave us the Chief of Naval Staff to take care of our natural resources.” He elaborated on the strategic importance of this position, stating, “Many people don’t know that the Chief of Naval Staff is in charge of the waterways where our oil and everything goes through, everything is being controlled by an Igbo man.”
The legislative spokesperson continued to enumerate the administration’s inclusive gestures. “He supported the Southeast to have the Deputy Speaker,” Kalu pointed out, underscoring the deliberate efforts to enhance regional political representation.
Perhaps most significantly, Kalu highlighted the Southeast Development Commission as a testament to Tinubu’s commitment. “Many say he will not sign it, he signed it. Many say he will not appoint the board, he appointed. Many say that he’s not going to fund it, he has about 341 billion to it now, although we are asking for more,” he declared.
Concluding his passionate endorsement, Kalu asserted, “So, he’s taking the right steps, making the right appointments,” presenting a narrative of deliberate, strategic inclusivity that challenges previous perceptions of regional marginalization.
The interview provides a nuanced perspective on the current administration’s approach to national integration, demonstrating a deliberate strategy of regional representation and economic empowerment. Kalu’s detailed account offers insights into the complex political negotiations and symbolic gestures that shape Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
As a key legislative figure, Kalu’s endorsement carries significant weight, potentially influencing public perception and political discourse surrounding the Tinubu administration’s commitment to equitable national development.
