The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, on Monday, dismissed a media report of a rift between himself and governors of South East states of Abia, Enugu, Anambra, Imo and Ebonyi over the Peace in South East Project unveiled in Bende, last week.
A national daily had reported on Sunday that the launch of PISE-P, a brainchild of Kalu, may have placed him on a warpath with the governors and the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide.
Reacting to the publication in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabughiogu on Sunday, Kalu, who represents Bende Federal Constituency, Abia State, described the report as a sponsored attempt to dent his image.
