Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has refuted reports claiming he intends to contest the Abia State governorship in 2027.

In a statement issued Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabugbiogu, Kalu emphasized that he remains focused on his current four-year mandate representing Bende Federal Constituency and serving Nigerians.

The statement described the report as “baseless, unfounded, and lacking credibility,” and called on the publishers to retract it. It added that any political plans by Kalu will be officially announced by his “political family” at the appropriate time.
