“Ninety percent of men who promised me monetary gifts on social media have asked me to meet them in hotel rooms to collect them.
Do I have to come to a hotel room before you help me? Dear men please do better!”-Ibom Airline Bobby Celebrity Comfort Emmason cries out
This image is Elu-Okwe Primary School in Amaukwu Igbere, Bende LGA—a living, breathing school, not a rumour or propaganda. Yet the Abia State Government claimed it was demolished because it had been awarded for upgrade to a smart school. Today, no smart school exists. The roof is failing, classrooms leak, and pupils still run for cover whenever it rains. Despite community appeals for urgent renovation, intervention was halted on the grounds that the project had been “awarded.” Months later, nothing has happened. This raises serious questions about the state’s claim of spending ₦100 billion on public school repairs. Smart schools do not disappear, and infrastructure does not exist only on paper. Abia people are no longer asking for explanations—they are demanding results. Where are the smart schools?
Rep. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has pledged to partner with the South East Progressive Digital Media Summit (SEPDMS 2026) to promote responsible information dissemination and amplify the achievements of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu across the South East.
The Office of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives has dismissed as false and misleading the Abia State Government’s claims concerning infrastructure projects attracted by Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu. The office clarified that the land along the Umuahia–Bende Road was communally donated, not allocated by the state government, and described allegations of unauthorized demolition of school facilities as baseless. It further accused the Otti administration of deliberate propaganda aimed at undermining genuine development efforts, while reaffirming the Deputy Speaker’s commitment to attracting critical infrastructure to Abia State in the interest of the people.
