The office of the Senate Chief Whip has congratulated the Federal lawmaker, saying it is delighted to use this medium to appreciate the Almighty God for using the Supreme Court to right the wrongs of the lower court.
ABN TV reports that these came after the pronouncement of the Supreme Court on Friday, May 8, 2020, nullifying the judgment of the Federal High court that sentenced the former governor of Abia state and Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to the correctional center.
Office of the Senate Chief Whip also said it is grateful to the Executive arm of government, the leadership of the two chambers of the National Assembly, especially the Senate President and Speaker, Distinguished Senators and HON Members for the implicit confidence they expressed in Senator Kalu as their brother and colleague.
