Akpabio: Orji Kalu Will Win At Court Of Appeal – Northern Group To Abbo

A political pressure group, North East Elders and Youths Peoples Forum (NEEPYF) has said that the former governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Kalu will emerge victorious in the case against him at the Court of Appeal.

The group’s chairman, Salihu Magaji stated this in Bauchi on Tuesday.

Magaji asserted that the former governor would be triumphant despite the alleged clique of some politicians who are bent on bringing him down politically.

The pressure group chairman stated this while responding to Senator Elisha Abbo allegation that Senate President Godswill Akpabio was behind the ruling of the appeal court which terminated his tenure on Monday.

Abbo had claimed that Akpabio was also planning to remove Kalu through the judgement from the Court of Appeal

Magaji, said, “Our attention was drawn to the allegations made by our brother, Senator Elisha Abbo, who represented Adamawa North, that the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, was behind the ruling of the Appeal Court which terminated his tenure abruptly in the Senate yesterday (Monday).

“He also said that Four other Senators have been pencilled down for similar removal through judgment from the Court of Appeal. Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (APC Abia North) was the next target of the planned ‘coup’ against Five Senators from the Senate by its leadership. The sin of the other Four Senators was that they opposed the emergence of the leadership of the 10th Senate in June.”

“Nigerians are watching, and all of us are watching, and we expect nothing from the Appeal Court except justice and fairness, and with justice and fairness, Orji Kalu will win as he won at the lower Tribunal.

“The essence of democracy lies not only in our ability to vote but also in our capacity to defend the integrity of that vote, as we remain confident of getting substantial justice at the appellate courts.”
