Senator Orji Kalu urges Nigerians to imbibe habit of obeying court orders

Senator Orji Kalu (APC- Abia) has appealed to Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of obeying court orders.

Mr Kalu, who represents Abia North at the National Assembly, said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja, adding that obeying court orders would help in entrenching a fair and egalitarian society.

He decried incessant flouting of court orders, saying that it was not in the best interest of the countryโ€™s democracy.

โ€œI appeal to all Nigerians in the public and private sector, vocational sector and street sector to imbibe the habit of obeying court orders.

โ€œEveryone or anyone no matter how high or low will directly or indirectly need the court someday,โ€ Mr Kalu said.

The former governor of Abia said that the civility of a man began with obeying court orders whether it was favorable or unfavorable.

โ€œFor any democracy to thrive, respect for the law and human rights, as well as adherence to institutions established to shape the country are key.

โ€œFlagrant disregard for any of these often weakens the rule of law and also threatens human rights,โ€ Mr Kalu said.

Nigeria had in recent years recorded incessant disobedience of court orders by some government agencies.
