The member representing Ideato North/South federal constituency of Imo State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere, has said that Deputy Speaker of the House Benjamin Okezie Kalu, enjoyed maximum confidence of southern political class because of his leadership style and character.

Ugochinyere, who is the chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, noted that Kalu was building sustainable bridges for emerging leaders from the South-East region.



Ugochinyere lauded the deputy speaker’s role in establishment of the South-East Development Commission (SEDC), which is a recipe for the reconstruction, rehabilitation and reconciliation of the once war-torn region and other legislative praxis such as committee integration.

He also commended Kalu’s tireless efforts in bringing peace to the region through his initiative, Peace in South-East Project (PISE-P), a peace-building and development programme designed to address the complex socio-economic challenges and security issues facing the Southeast region of Nigeria.
