The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu has asserted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is interested in the political development of the Southeast.
He pointed out that the President had directed the leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to make the party stronger in the region.
Speaking at a meeting of APC stakeholders in the 17 local government areas of Abia State, Kalu said President Tinubu wanted the party’s leaders and members to jettison their differences and unite to boost its fortunes.
He said: “I don’t believe in factions. Everyone is my brother and friend. We are one family. Those talking about factions should have a rethink. Stop talking about factions and allow people to mingle. This is the beauty of party politics. Everybody must come together; let’s work together. That’s the message from Mr. President. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said the party should work together. Nothing else matters.

“I can tell you his body language is to make the party stronger in the Southeast. This should start from us in Abia State.
“Please, let’s work together. That’s the message I have for you. No other agenda but just to greet you. Collapse also those factions and come, let’s work together.
“President Tinubu is not interested in the factionalisation of the party. You think he will clap for you because you have small factions? No. He will only clap for you because you are working together.
“So, collapse the factions; let’s work together. The doors and windows of this party should be open. Let’s bring everyone on board. We should reconcile with everyone and make peace so that we can work as a formidable force.
“If you want to make peace with me, I am ready to come and see you. Let us make peace and you, too, should be ready to make peace. Let’s work as one body. Once we unite, other political parties should be afraid. As you know, united we stand but divided we fall.
