The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, will take over Abia <\/a>State, which is currently controlled by the Labour Party.<\/p>\n

Kalu stated this on Sunday while addressing a crowd of his supporters and APC members at the Abia <\/a>Hotels in Umuahia.<\/p>\n

He said President Bola Tinubu <\/a>is poised to establish a seaport in the South-East geopolitical zone to boost trade and commerce in the region.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Speaker also noted that the President understands that the South-East is predominantly a trading region, hence, he is determined to bring a seaport closer to the people.<\/p>\n

According to him, the time has come for Abia <\/a>to be integrated into mainstream politics so as to benefit more from the centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to take over Abia <\/a>in 2027; we want to work with the President to move our state forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they see us gather, they think it\u2019s about money. It\u2019s not about money. It\u2019s about the love we have for our President. It\u2019s about the momentum for what will come in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crowd here is not a rented crowd; it\u2019s organic. They are here to move the state and the federal government forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
