The All Progressive Congress, APC, Abia State chapter has reacted to the victory of the former Abia State governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, whose case was nullified by the Supreme Court sitting in Abuja.
In a statement signed by the Abia APC Publicity Secretary, Comrade Benedict Godson, the party celebrated Kalu’s victory, noting that it’s another Breakthrough for a man whose path is filled with honour and respect.
Below is the statement…
Today is a happy day for everyone who loves justice and fair hearing. Our leader and the leader of the All Progressives Congress in the entire South East Nigeria, Senator Orji Uzor-Kalu is out from where he shouldn’t be in the first place.
His constituents have cried for so long, Abians have cried for so long, Nigerians have cried for so long and today, God the decided to hear all of us and set this great man free. We say glory be to God for his love.
Recounting his profile and achievements will only be meaningful to the ears of a child born today because his name is as popular and famous as water which is the most popular thing on earth.
It’s obvious everyone still remembers he is the Chief Whip of Nigeria Senate and two term Governor of our great state Abia.
His freedom is not for him. It’s a freedom for Nigeria because there are many persons who have been praying, fasting and waiting for a day like this because they know that his freedom brings fresh air into the lives of many families.
Here in Abia, today should have been a festival of joy in our streets if not for the Covid-19 pandemic. I bet you that even the trees are rejoicing because the man of the people is free.
We’re never surprised nor shock with what the Supreme Court did by quashing the erroneous judgement that convicted and sentenced our leader to 12 years imprisonment.
It’s also not surprising that the apex court took a unanimous decision where a seven-man panel of Justices agreed that the Federal High Court in Lagos acted without jurisdiction when it convicted him.
This is another breakthrough for a man whose path is filled with honour and respect. He’s a man whom God has blessed from birth and no man can curse him.
Our prayers have been answered and we’re waiting to receive our leader back home and wish him sound health.
We shall continue to pray for him and also solicit the prayers of all Nigerians as he goes through all these trial period.
We know him, we’ve not forgotten what he can do and God knows him better and knows what he’ll still continue to do with him.
