Abians Launch Recall Campaign Against House of Representatives Member Benjamin Kalu Over Controversial Statement

In a significant political development in Abia State, a campaign to recall Honorable Ben Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has been launched. The move comes in response to a controversial statement made by Kalu in a recently trending video.

In the video, Kalu, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), declared that the next Governor of Abia State would be an APC member. This assertion has sparked considerable backlash from the public and political opponents, who view it as an attempt to undermine the state's democratic processes and existing political dynamics.

The recall campaign was initiated by a user on X (formerly Twitter), who has garnered substantial support from Abia residents and political activists. The campaign argues that Kalu's statement reflects a disregard for the diverse political landscape of the state and seeks to challenge his suitability for the role of Deputy Speaker.

Supporters of the recall effort are mobilizing to collect signatures and rally support, aiming to demonstrate widespread discontent with Kalu's remarks and his performance in office. The outcome of this campaign could have significant implications for both Kalu's political future and the broader political scene in Abia State.

As the campaign gains momentum, it remains to be seen how Kalu and his allies will respond and whether the recall initiative will lead to a formal recall process or further political unrest in the region.
