…regrets mischief makers on prowl, misinterpreting deputy speaker
Former minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeke Wogu, Ph.D has thrown his weight behind the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu on his recent call to Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti to rejoin the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Reacting to the debates that has greeted the call made in a viral video, Wogu, a chieftain of APC said that it has been hijacked by mischief makers who have equally interpreted it out of context.
Describing it as a political clarion call, Wogu said it serves as a reminder to all party faithful in the State and Nigeria to work hard.
Wogu recalled that the deputy speaker in the video also commended Otti for his giant strides in the State, wondering why some people will want to deliberately twist Kalu’s position to cause disaffection between him and Otti.
The former minister said that it was natural for a person of Kalu who occupies an exalted position in Nigeria’s political hierarchy to make such a call.
According to him, Otti and Kalu who represents Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State have no misunderstanding between them.
He added that both are working in tandem for the overall good and development of the State.
“The call by the Rt. Hon Benjamin Kalu has been hijacked by mischief makers who have interpreted it out of context. It was a reminder to party faithfuls to work hard and also a political clarion call to the incumbent Governor Dr Alex Otti to consider rejoining his former party.
“Both gentlemen are working in some cases as partners to develop the state. What else do you expect from high ranking leader of APC. The DS also commended the Governor for his good works in Abia”, Wogu said.
