 Press Release From the Office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives




2027: Deputy Speaker, Kalu Has Not Declared For Abia Governorship


The attention of the Office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, PhD, LL.D, CFR, has been drawn to a false and misleading news report circulating on social media, attributed to "Native Reporters", claiming the Deputy Speaker's intention to run for Governor of Abia State in 2027.


We categorically state that the report is baseless, unfounded, and lacks credibility. The Deputy Speaker has not made any declaration, either privately or publicly, to contest for the governorship of Abia State in 2027.


The Deputy Speaker is focused on his four-year mandate of representing  Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State and serving them and indeed, all Nigerians with dedication and integrity.


We urge "Native Reporters" to retract the false report and adhere to basic journalistic ethics, including truth, accuracy, and fairness if they are a responsible and credible news platform. 


We also caution against spreading misinformation and advise media practitioners to verify facts before publication.


The political family of the Deputy Speaker will announce his plans and intentions at the appropriate time. 


Signed:


Levinus Nwabughiogu , Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Federal Republic of Nigeria
