Orji Kalu returns to Senate to assume legislative duties
The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has officially welcomed the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, back to the Senate.
Kalu arrived at the National Assembly complex at about 9 am on Tuesday morning.
“I just want to thank God for everything that has happened.
“It is the will of God. I want to urge Nigerians to keep hope alive,” he told reporters before entering the building.
Kalu was released after over six months of incarceration at the Kuje Correctional Centre.
The former Governor of Abia State and others were convicted and sentenced for N7.1bn fraud last December.
Don’t rejoice yet. The court never acquitted you. So it is not yet Uhuru.
My candid advice to you is to return everything you stole from Abia state.
If you fail to do this, you will go back to jail. And the court won’t rescue you the second time.
