Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives has been warned to guard his utterances.

A lawmaker representing the Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency of Abia State under the Labour Party advised Kanu against making statements capable of heating the polity.

He said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, following Kalu’s remark that the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abia would take over the state in 2027.

Aguocha said the comment credited to the Deputy Speaker was shocking and unbecoming of a person of his status.

He said, “Kalu’s open outburst against our Gov. Alex Otti of the Labour Party and Abia, was disrespectful in every sense of the word.”

According to him, Abia people are still safe and will remain so with a high-performing Otti by 2027 and beyond.
