He said God did a wonderful thing worthy of thanksgiving, expressing optimism that with the case over, he would do more for his constituents in coming days.
Managing Director of the Nigerian Film Corporation and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chidia Maduekwe, equally expressed his joy.
“God is faithful, and today is the gathering of those who are faithful, so we are here to celebrate his faithfulness in our lives as have seen through the miracle he has done on our leader,” Maduekwe said.
Mrs. Ola-Kalu said she had earlier made a vow that if the verdict favours her principal, she would organise a thanksgiving.
“It is only God that answered our prayers, no man did it for us,” Ola-Kalu said.
Ola-Kalu urged all Senator Kalu’s supporters to remain committed and keep hope alive.
