The leadership of the All Progressives Congress is leaving nothing to chance ahead of a court judgment on Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abia State, who is facing corruption charges by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The public pressure and criticisms have made it difficult and impossible for the office of Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abukabar Malami, to enter Nolie prosique and withdraw the charges against Kalu in the case.

The leadership of the party has since commenced mobilisation of possible force to pile pressure on Justice Mohammed Idris for a favourable judgment come December 2.

Kalu is being tried alongside his company, Slok Nigeria Limited; and Udeh Udeogu, who was Director of Finance and Accounts at the Abia State Government House in an alleged fraud of N7.65bn during Kalu’s tenure as governor.

Kalu, who crossed to the APC prior to the 2019 general election, contested for the Abia North Senatorial District position.

Justice Idris had fixed judgment in the matter for December 2 and since then all mercenaries of the party had been deployed to reach the judge for favourable consideration.

SaharaReporters gathered that a top leader of the party has been contacted and he is pulling his weight around the case.

It was said that Justice Idris is being put in a very tight and difficult position.

"We are leaving no stone unturned in preventing an embarrassing judgment from that judge."

"Orji Kalu has invested heavily in the party and it's time for the party to show appreciation for his service and investments,” said sources close to the parties.

Another source in the office of the Court of Appeal President confirmed the pressure on the President of the Appellate Court who has been left with no option than to reach the judge to understand her predicament.

Justice Idris is said to have rebuffed all entreaties considering the amount of pressure on him.

“Monday is still a long time to have the judge to concede pressure and consider the request.

“The party leadership are equally in earnest search for other possible contacts to the judge other than President of the Court of Appeal.

“Whichever way the pendulum swings, the public will know by Monday, December 2 when the judgment is expected to be delivered,” the source said.

We should also understand that sometimes news like this are released very close to an event to distort the mind set of the public towards the possible out come of an event.

Thank you.

Getting convictions in corruption cases are notoriously difficult. A one day old law graduate will tell you that. It's simply because of the doctrine of law Nigeria as a country has chosen to adopt - where the onus of proof lies on the accuser to prove. You are innocent until proven guilty. In some climes, it's the other way round, where you are assumed guilty until proven innocent.

I think this case will also be thrown out like a lot other stories like it simply because the efcc have a history of bungling cases. And believe me it's not about PDP/APC factor. Remember Saraki worked? The whole of Kwara state knows Bukola did not inherit that kind of money he spends.

So in order to mold the common man's opinions, people with vested interest start sponsoring stories around events like this whether true or not.

Let's change our criminal laws (especially financial crimes) to guilty until proven innocent and you'll begin to see more convictions, because thieves and embezzlers will then have to prove how they got their money.

Exactly , if he rules in favor of OUK, people will scream we saw that coming.



How can the ruling favor Orji Kalu when his director of finance has accepted in his submission that Slock Nigeria Ltd, Orji Kalu's company received payment from Abia State government but fail to carry out the contract of which the payment was made.
I wonder the kind of ruling that can favor him if not a corrupt ruling.
