Being in the ruling Party is not a Guarantee against Justice – Nwagwu speaks on Orji Kalu’s Sentence

Mr Ezenwa Nwagwu, Chairman, Partners for Electoral Reforms (PEF) has shared that being in a ruling party does not save one from facing the full course of the law. This comes after Orji IUzor Kalu was convicted of N7.2bn fraud and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment.

“The judgment is a good boost for the anti corruption fight, especially against the background of all the noise about once somebody is in the All Progressives Congress (APC) the person cannot be brought to justice, he said

“It is a good signal that even if you join the ruling party you will not clog the will of justice. It also signals the fact that no matter how long it lasts, once there is a determination by the court to bring justice, justice would be done.

“We are excited about the judgment and we hope that it is also brought to bear on the Babachir Lawal’s case and other cases of people with criminal record who think that being in the ruling party is a guarantee against justice,” he added
