Benjamin Kalu, deputy speaker of the house of representatives, says President Bola Tinubu is the only commander-in-chief to remember the Igbo ethnic group since the civil war.
Kalu spoke on Saturday during an empowerment programme organised by Chris Nkwonta, lawmaker representing Ukwa east/Ukwa west federal constituency.
The event, held in Ndoki, Ukwa east LGA of the state, reportedly saw over 3,000 members from various political parties defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kalu said the defection is a reflection of the people’s gratitude to Tinubu who is committed to the development of Ndigbo, especially through the creation of the South East Development Commission (SEDC).
The deputy speaker said the commission will meet the infrastructure needs of the region.
