Women for Positivity (WP), a women’s advocacy group, has urged Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, to address his connection to the ENASCO fraud case. The group is demanding a public clarification following reports that his Chief of Staff, Mr. Sam Hart, along with other company directors, has been indicted in the scandal.
In a statement released in Abuja, the group’s leader, Mrs. Roseline Alajemba, criticised Kalu’s silence on the matter, saying it “speaks volumes,” especially given the serious allegations of attempted fraud involving public funds in Abia State.
The group further accused Kalu of political treachery, claiming he has a history of “snitching” on political leaders for personal or party gain.
According to her, similar tactics were used in 2019 against APC candidate Dr. Uche Ogah, allegedly with the involvement of Mr. Hart.
Alajemba questioned the appointment of Hart, a known PDP loyalist and former appointee of ex-Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, as Kalu’s Chief of Staff, suggesting it was a reward for past political espionage.
She also mocked Kalu’s claim that the South-East would deliver 70 percent of votes to President Bola Tinubu, noting that a state assembly member from Kalu’s own Bende constituency recently defected to the Labour Party.
“Is that how he plans to deliver 70 percent to APC?” she asked.
In a separate development, the Abia Conscience Movement, led by Mr. Akubokwu Onuoha, dared Kalu to deny the allegations, warning that more revelations are forthcoming if he remains silent.
