Chief Iseh Abraham, stalwart of the All Progressives Congress, has saluted the deputy Speaker of the house of representatives and the member representing Bende federal constituency, Rt Honorable Benjamin Okezie Kalu on the occasion of the celebration of his 54 birthday.
In a statement on Monday, congratulating the deputy speaker, Abraham who also served as the Director of Finance of Benjamin Kalu Campaign Organisation at the last general election held in Abia state, described the celebrant as visionary leader whose dedication and unwavering commitment to the southeast region had been truly inspiring.
He stated that Kalu’s leadership has paved way for progress and fostered peace, development, and unity.
Abraham noted that the federal lawmaker played pivotal role in advocating for infrastructural and economic development in the southeast, notably championing the South East Development Commission (SEDC) bill, which aimed at addressing the region’s developmental challenges.
According to him in the message to Reps deputy speaker, “Your leadership style which usually is characterized by a non-kinetic approach, had helped in a great way, resolved the security issues, demonstrating your strategic vision for sustainable peace and progress.
“Your Excellency, you have established yourself as a forward-thinking leader, deeply committed to the development of the South East region of Nigeria. As you mark your 54th year, your contributions to governance and legislative affairs continue to shape the political landscape.
“Looking ahead to 2027, your influence within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South East is expected, without a doubt, to yield true growth. Your ability to bridge political divides and focus on long-term development rather than short-term electoral gains sets you apart as a leader with a clear vision,” he added.
As he marks his 54th birthday, Chief Iseh Abraham wished Rt Honorable Benjamin Kalu greater strength, wisdom, and opportunities to continue making lasting impact.
