“We are here for your prayer. Being one of the most loyal party governors, we believe your prayer and support will go a long way in actualizing our goal,” the lawmaker stated.

“We need your prayer to ensure that we will not only win come June 13 but that we will be able to stabilize the house and heal the wounds, particularly from various contestants in this race.”

Kalu, who also serves as the spokesperson for the House of Representatives, pledged that their leadership would prioritize equality, with the needs of Nigerians guiding their decisions.

“We are going to project institutional trust driven by credibility, competence, and capacity so that people can see that the national assembly is an institution they can rely on,” said Kalu.
