Former Minister of State for Mines and Steel, Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, has officially teamed up with Nigeria’s Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, in a strategic alliance to drive President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election campaign ahead of 2027.
The alliance, unveiled in Umuahia at the Renewed Hope Partners hub, marks a significant turning point in Abia State and across the South East region. Dr. Ogah, widely respected for his economic expertise and political credibility, pledged his full support to Tinubu’s second-term ambition, describing the collaboration as a movement anchored on unity, vision, and purpose.
“We will put in everything we have, our resources, our social capital, to ensure this Renewed Hope partnership is a success,” Dr. Ogah declared, signaling his readiness to mobilize his vast political network across the region.

This was not just another political handshake, it is a calculated effort to reposition the South East in Nigeria’s power structure. With two influential figures; Ogah, a technocratic statesman, and Kalu, a fast-rising legislative force working together, the region is making it clear that it is done with symbolic politics and ready for real influence in the national agenda.
The alliance also aims to heal long-standing political fractures that have undermined the region’s impact in national affairs. It represents a bold message that the time for disunity is over, and strategic cooperation is now the path forward.
As the road to 2027 begins to take shape, the Ogah-Kalu partnership is fast becoming a rallying point for stakeholders, party loyalists, and grassroots supporters. It not only strengthens President Tinubu’s re-election machinery in the region but also signals a new era of purposeful engagement from the South East.
