A political storm is brewing in Abia State as a recall campaign gains momentum against Honorable Ben Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The move follows a viral video where Kalu, an All Progressives Congress (APC) member, claimed the next Abia State Governor would be from the APC, sparking widespread outrage.
The campaign, initiated on social media, has garnered significant support from Abia residents and political activists, who accuse Kalu of undermining the state’s democratic processes and disregarding its diverse political landscape.

Supporters argue that Kalu’s statement demonstrates his unsuitability for the Deputy Speaker role and are mobilizing to collect signatures and rally support. The campaign’s success could have far-reaching implications for Kalu’s political future and Abia State’s political dynamics.
As the recall effort gains traction, Kalu and his allies face mounting pressure to respond. The situation is unfolding, with many waiting to see if the campaign will lead to a formal recall process or further political unrest in the region.
