I am sure that Ben Kalu will never vote for RUGA even if compelled by his party caucus In the House. His actions when farmlands were destroyed by herders within his constituency gives me that much confidence Bende Federal Constituency has a way of producing some of the finest legislators representing Abia State at the National Assembly. That constituency gave us the best ever female legislator in the person of our Amazon Hon. Nnenna Ukeje aka Ada Bende.

Sometimes in 2012 when I was returning to Ozubulu, my hometown, construction signposts with the inscriptions: "Attracted by Chris Emeka Azubogu" stood at strategic places all the way from Nnewi to Ozubulu.
