Following the ‘ill-advised conviction’ of former Governor of Abia and Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, of alleged N7.65bn fraud, a legal practitioner has declared that there was no cause for alarm.
Victor Otie, Esq., faulted the judgement, insisting that it was unknown to law and cannot stand.
“This is just a temporal distraction from his (Kalu’s) legislative duty, we are challenging it. We are sure of victory just like the Tribunal case. The ruling cannot stand.
“How can you say a company (Slok) that has been in existence before he became governor should be wind up? Does it make sense?.”
Asked if the judgement has direct legal implications on his (Kalu’s) seat as senator and office as Chief Whip, Barr. Otie said the positions would not be affected.
“Kalu remains a Senator and Senate Chief Whip, the position and office as Senator are not affected”, he said.
On whether the court ruling would be appealed, the legal practitioner said the judgement will be appealed from the Appeal Court up to the Supreme Court, insisting that there was no cause for alarm.
