A member of Board of Trustees of the All Progressive Grand Alliance , Dr David Bourdex , on Monday asked the National Assembly not to declare vacant the Abia North Senatorial seat, occupied by Orji Uzor Kalu .
ABUJAPEOPLE reported a Federal High Court in Lagos had last year sentenced Kalu to 12 years’ imprisonment, for diverting the sum of N 7 . 2 bn while in office as the governor of Abia State.
Bourdex , who was also the APGA candidate for Abia North Senatorial seat in the 2019 general elections, said, “It is preposterous and presumptuous to make such a demand to declare his seat vacant.
“Granted that the wheel of justice grinds slowly and surely , those of us in politics should strive to follow the rule of law without doing anything to circumvent the process . We should stand for fairness ; and patience is necessary to ensure that justice is done both for the state and citizens and society at large . ”
