The state Chairman of the party, Chief Donatus Nwankpa, said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Umuahia that the judgment had exonerated Kalu from the alleged N7.65 billion fraud.
“The victory has brought joy to our party, Abia North, the entire Abia people and Nigerians of good conscience and justice,” Nwankpa said. “We are happy, all Abia people, the old, young and little children on the streets and entire Nigerians are jubilating over the development. Eluwa said that The Administration of Criminal Justice Act stipulates that a judge, who was elevated to the Appeal Court, could still conclude a matter he began before his elevation, with permission from the Chief Justice of the Federation.
Thief! True what A_Oshiomhole said, join APCNigeria and your sins are forgiven. Counting down to 2023 so I sweep rubbish away with their own broom.
This is no victory the judgment was set aside on a technicality, which would not have been enough in any other jurisdiction. But we understand 🇳🇬 Justice system is only suitable for those who abuse Buhari and Masari, others will walk if they have US$
The education budget has long disappeared, spent on giving children of the elite foreign scholarships, building mosques and sponsoring pilgrims, so the Almajiri system came to fill a gap North🇳🇬Govs past & present created
The joy will soon be outlived!
Nothing surprises me again in this country. Those that the gods favor will have extraordinary judgements and pardon. After 12 years of legal battle we now hear this. Wetin concine agboro with overload.
I don’t understand how you arrived at ‘victory’. I’m confused, is a retrial a victory?
Next we hear is plea bargaining .
Congratulations Chief Sen Dr Orji Uzoh Kalu on your Supreme Court Victory. Sir please, kindly go and make peace with Ndigbo and we shall support U to succeed in delivering quality representation to ur people. Yagazie

They didn't say he was innocent
Hmmmmm..... This victory is suspicious....APC magic

The country is gone, only the strongest survives.
