The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has cautioned the South East against what he described as the “wastage of votes” on opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections, urging the region to embrace unity and vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While speaking at a political gathering on Saturday, January 10, Kalu said
“Politics is a game of numbers, not sentiments. The era of wasting our votes on emotional choices that yield no political capital is over. A vote cast where it does not contribute to success is an opportunity lost at the negotiation table.”
His comment comes as Peter Obi from the South East gears up to run for President in 2027. Obi who ran during the 2023 election came third after votes were counted.
