We Stand Firm! National Assembly Will Approve Wike’s Budget Without Fear – Kalu Assures

Kalu emphasized that lawmakers trust Wike’s ability to prudently utilize public funds to improve the lives of residents in the FCT.

He made the statement during the commissioning of the newly constructed Collector Road CN2 (Zakari A. Kyari Street) in Abuja, inaugurated by President Bola Tinubu as part of events marking his second year in office.

“The President calls you his friend, but I refer to you as my brother in whom I am well pleased,” Kalu said.

He added: “Often, the parliament is concerned about whether budget allocations will translate into real results that reflect lawmakers’ intentions. But time and again, particularly last year, you proved skeptics wrong. And this year, with 17 days of non-stop project commissioning, you’ve exceeded expectations.

“We have no hesitation in approving your proposals when they reach the parliament because we are confident in your ability to invest government resources effectively for the benefit of our people.”

Kalu noted that both the President and the legislature are pleased with Wike’s accomplishments, stating that his work has brought the Renewed Hope Agenda to life.

“It’s not just the President who is impressed — the National Assembly is equally proud. You’ve transformed what many thought was a mere slogan into visible progress. In this melting pot of Nigeria’s 36 states, your consistent and diligent efforts have made the Renewed Hope Agenda a reality,” he said.
