My Letter to the People of Bende

#PeopleofBende

Dear People of Bende,
It has been a while since you last heard from me through my usual letters. The reason is not far-fetched; I have been dragged from one court to another after my successful election at the polls. I was dragged to the tribunal and from there to the appeal court in an election petition which just ended not too long ago, leaving me with less amount of time to interact with you my constituents the way I would have loved to. But just like I promised in my previous letters we overcame, thanks to your fervent prayers for me.

Today I wish you merry Christmas and happy holidays though mine is celebrated with mixed feelings because one of the major leaders of our people is not within our reach to share the happy moments with. However, we are keeping hope alive that after every rain comes the sunshine. We remain hopeful since it is not strange for leaders to go through trying periods like this.

We will remain together, praying for God’s mercy to triumph over judgment. Therefore, events of the present should not divide or separate us from the political philosophy of regional socio-political and economic integration. Let us not be despondent.

Let us be forward looking to 2020, the beginning of a new decade that promises the freedom that we seek from all that hold us down. I pledge not to focus on our losses but preserve what we have gained with the desire to enlarge it for the benefit of ndi Bende.

Soon the Federal Constituency will feel the impacts of what we have been working on behind the curtains in-line with our campaign promises to change the dynamics.

You are welcome to attend my 180-days-in-office town hall meeting on 29th December where the report card of our activities will be tendered to the people of Bende.

Once again Merry Christmas and Happy New 2020.

God bless Bende Federal Constituency, God bless Abia State and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Yours sincerely,

Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu (MHR)
Spokesperson
9th Federal House of Representatives
Bende Federal Constituency
Abia
