Benjamin Kalu's contributions to the South East Development Commission (SEDC) which he says is a desperate and misguided effort to rewrite history.

In a surprising turn of events, Rep. Ginger Onwusibe, the leader of the Labour Party caucus in the House of Representatives, has come to the defense of Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu's call for Governor Alex Otti to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
