South African politician, Mangosuthu Buthelezi once said, “Others may make you promises, once again, and then election after election not deliver. We will not do this.”
The above statement resonates with the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, who since he was elected into the parliament in 2019 by his constituents and assumed office as the Deputy Speaker in 2023 has been bringing the dividends of democracy to his people in Bende Federal Constituency and the nation at large.
World over, a well-known common practice across the political gamut is overpromising by politicians. Every election season, most make promises they can’t or won’t deliver.
