“This Supreme Court judgment like many others will certainly impact positively on the country’s jurisprudence. The Supreme Court, legally speaking, is infallible in judgment and we must respect always the sacrosanctity of decisions from that highest altar of justice in the land.
“The judgment on Senator Kalu shall in a very big way restore quality representative of the good people of Abia North in the red chambers. Kalu has always been a superlative performer in his long years in service to his people; he will just continue to do what he does best for his people, which is to bring about development and quality representation.
“Abia people, Ndi Igbo and indeed other Nigerians who have come in contact with Senator Kalu love him so much so that when the news of his faulty conviction came in December 5, 2019, people were shell shocked. We, his close allies, with faith in God began to pray for divine and legal intervention.
“We are very grateful to God for the turn of event now and shall continue to pray to God that He sees Kalu through until he is fully vindicated. Abia North shall continue to experience Kalu’s touch in all positive manners” he said.
He also defended the federal government’s decision to borrow money from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the development of the country.
“For me, there is nothing wrong in picking any useful loan; I mean economically justifiable and profit-oriented loans. As for the loans the government has taken so far, we must be very careful in criticising without carefully understanding where the loans have been put to use.
“The country has plethora of problems in security, infrastructure, poverty, etc and we can all see the Federal Government’s strides in fixing these challenges. Only a blind critic would say the government is doing nothing at all” he said.
