Abubakar Musa: Justice Muhammed Idris got it wrong on Orji Kalu’s bail revocation

It beats my imagination how Nigeria’s political system will turn around our judicial system that was supposed to be the common man’s last hope, which has now become his worst nightmare .
His Excellency, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, is one free-minded leader, transparent on how he acquired his wealth, before venturing into politics.
Aside from politics, he is a successful businessman, a guru in the business sector, and our country knows how much he contributes to the growth of the economy.
This man, as at 1999, gave out a whopping amount of N1 billion to Olusegun Obasanjo to add to his campaign and also gave the PDP, of which he was a founding father, N500 million.
If he could bring out that amount of money in his account then to support the candidate and the party, that alone tells us he is a billionaire.
In regards to this, Justice Idris should also know that not only is Orji Kalu’s case politically motivated, the said case has lingered for years.
So, we believe the revocation of bail is politically sponsored because the masses know too well that Orji Kalu is ill and that he travelled for a medical surgery.
We have not forgotten how President Olusegun Obasanjo wrote to UK and USA about Orji Kalu, describing him to be a corrupt person, and in their letter back to him proved Obasanjo wrong, as they stated clearly in their response that His Excellency, Orji Uzor Kalu, is not corrupt, that he is a young man with vision, a very successful businessman and politician they know too well. They further made it clear to Nigerians during their reply to Obasanjo that Orji Kalu has only one house in Maryland, USA which he bought in 1991. Also the UK Govt made it clear that Orji Kalu has only one house in UK, which he bought in 1993. These were purchased out of political office, so why label him corrupt? they asked Obasanjo.
Doesn’t Orji Kalu has the right as a citizen of Nigeria to seek foreign medical attention? Again, a lot of news are in the air, that some bigwig politicians are pressurising Justice Idris Muhammed for him to frustrate his Orji Kalu and possibly jail him.
A lot of our brothers and sisters here in the North are currently in school because of his hand of friendship through his foundation. We are hereby calling on our Northern leaders and the Chief Justice to look into Justice Idris’ activities for it is clear that Justice Idris is becoming bias and is gradually personalising this case. We, Hausa, are known for integrity and we urge Justice Idris to stand by it.
Nigerians believe in rule of law, and it is clear that His Excellency Orji Kalu has absolute respect for rule of law.
So, in this case, due process must be followed. If EFCC claims that they have a witness against him, then what is delaying their witness from coming out to testify? Justice Idris knows too well that Orji Kalu is out of the country for a medical surgery, so the bail revoked is politically motivated and this proves to us that Justice Idris should be called to order. Anything that indirectly affects Orji Kalu directly affects close to two million Nigerians on his payroll and we know how that will affect Nigeria’s economy.
