Kalu elected Deputy Speaker unopposed

Kalu was nominated for the position by Babajimi Benson from Lagos State and seconded by Khadijat Bukar Abba Ibrahim from Yobe state.

Kalu is the APC endorsed candidate for the position.

Benson said the nomination was necessary in the interest of inclusion and addressing perceived marginalisation.

After calling for more nomination with none forthcoming, the Clerk to the National Assembly declared Kalu elected as Deputy Speaker and proceeded to administer the path of office on him.
