Kalu spoke in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Abuja.
According to Kalu, because the various tiers of government, individuals and corporate entities have no respect for the decisions of the courts, “we are making many unlawful things possible.
“If a court issues an order that Sambo Dasuki be released, it should be obeyed
“If we Nigerians genuinely want democracy to endure, we should learn how to respect the laws of the land.
“The law of the land is our constitution and any pronouncement made by the court based on the constitution should be obeyed,’’ Kalu said.
