 Bende Elders Urge Traditional Rulers to Intervene in Kalu Political Rift


Elders from various communities in Bende Local Government Area have called on traditional rulers to urgently intervene in the ongoing political tension between Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu.


The elders made the appeal during a visit to the Eze of Bende Ancient Kingdom, Eze Anthony Okorochukwu, in Bende LGA.


Led by former Chairman of Bende Local Government Area, Emmanuel Onwuchekwa, the delegation urged the monarchs to advise former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, to sheath his sword and embrace peace with his kinsman, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.


The elders stressed that the Deputy Speaker is not opposed to Senator Kalu’s ambition to contest for the Senate in the 2027 general elections.


“Ben is not stopping Senator Orji Uzor Kalu from contesting for Senate,” the elders said. 


“They are contesting for two different positions. Why then should there be this level of hostility? We don’t want any war between Igbere and Bende. We have had enough of this.”


The intervention by the elders is aimed at dousing rising political tensions and preventing a possible rift between the two prominent politicians from the same senatorial zone.
