Executive Director of Igbere TV, Emeh James Anyalekwa, has commended the Supreme Court verdict quashing the judgement that convicted and sentenced a former governor of Abia and Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, to 12 years imprisonment.
He said the apex court ruling dismissing the lower court judgement has justified the widely held view that the “erroneous conviction” by the Lagos high court would not stand the test of time.
According to him, the decision of the Supreme Court Justices was unanimous as seen today, saying, “the Judiciary remains the last hope of the common man, therefore all hands must be on deck to strengthen it.”
Anyalekwa said, “It is with great joy that I received the news of the victory of His Excellency former governor of Abia, Senator (Dr.) Orji Uzor Kalu, MON at the Supreme Court.
“Today’s judgement is a victory for all, triumph of truth over falsehood and redeemer of the integrity of the judiciary. No matter how long, truth will always prevail over falsehood.
“Therefore, on behalf of my family and members of staff of Igbere TV, I congratulate his excellency the former governor, his family, friends and people of Abia North over the victory.”
The Igbere TV boss, who doubles as National President, Online Media Practitioners Association of Nigeria, called on all politicians to put their differences aside and join hands with Kalu to move Abia North forward as he returns to the red chamber.
