The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, on Saturday claimed that President Bola Tinubu is the messiah that the Southeast have been waiting for since the end of the Biafra civil war.

Kalu made the remark while noting that the South-East will ensure that Tinubu is reelected in 2027.

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives spoke during the All Progressives Congress, APC, women empowerment rally in Enugu State.

He said Tinubu loves people of the South-East, claiming that when he was governor, nobody arrested or confiscated the properties of Igbos in Lagos State.

Kalu recalled how Tinubu appointed Ben Akabueze into his cabinet while he was governor of Lagos State.

He said: "For now our mandate is to support the man that has been supporting us, this man has not hidden his love for Ndi-Igbo, when he was the governor of Lagos State, no Igbo property was taken, no Igbo who was a businessman was arrested.

"Then he was the only man who brought an Igbo man into his cabinet, Ben Akabueze, it has never happened before.

"I need to remind you that after the civil war we waited for 60 years for the promise that was made to the people of Igboland that was not kept. The three Rs they taught us in government, Reconciliation, Reconstruction, and Reintegration; government after government ignored us. Administrations after administrations ignored the Igbos and we were waiting when will the messiah come to save the Igbos.

"Then came a man who loved the Igbos from his heart, the Southeast Development Commission has been going to the parliament from year to year, assembly to assembly and they refused to sign it, but when Tinubu came, the Southeast Development Commission became a commission.

"He gave us bridge, roads, and scholarship, why won't we reelect him again, he will return again."
