Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu Hails Tinubu at 74; Tasks Support Groups to Mobilize 150 Million Nigerians for President’s Vision

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the primary force “shaping our nation’s destiny.” In a heartfelt congratulatory message marking the President’s 74th birthday, Kalu “flipped the script” on political rhetoric, describing the President’s tenure as a masterclass in visionary leadership and national development.

In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabughiogu, Kalu emphasized that the “Solution” to Nigeria’s long-standing challenges is being found through the President’s bold and often difficult economic choices. “Your visionary leadership has shaped our nation’s destiny. May your vision continue to guide us towards greatness,” Kalu stated. He highlighted that the Renewed Hope Agenda is not just a political slogan but a blueprint that is repositioning Nigeria’s resources for the betterment of all citizens.

Beyond the birthday tributes, the Deputy Speaker has already shifted his focus toward the future. During a meeting in Abuja with a delegation of the Renewed Hope Partners (RHP), Kalu set an ambitious goal: to mobilize 150 million supporters for the President before the 2027 polls. He urged the group to act as “change agents,” breaking down the administration’s policies into simple language that people in universities, markets, and motor parks can understand.

Kalu’s remarks underscore the growing momentum within the 10th National Assembly to ensure the legislative and executive arms remain perfectly aligned. As the President enters his 75th year, Kalu and other leaders in the House of Representatives are signaling that they view his “audacious” reforms as the necessary foundation for a more secure and economically stable Nigeria, vowing to remain “defenders of democracy” as the nation heads toward its next major political milestone.
