Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume has described the confession of Senator Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa, as courageous.
Ndume said people who have connections with court justices would be tempted because the system is compromised.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Ndume said people will pressure those linked to judges.
According to Ndume: “People are caught in between what is right and social, my first wife is a high court judge. When people know your wife is a judge, they pressure you.
“We are all humans. It depends on how strong you are to stand against these things. When the system is compromised, you will be tempted.
“But, I like his courage of confessing publicly, I think it will help people, system to look inward and when you see that what you did is wrong, the best thing is to say I’m sorry. Maybe, that will help others to do the same.”
During the valedictory session of the 9th assembly, Bulkachuwa, had bragged how he influenced the decision of his wife, Zainab Bulkachuwa, a retired Justice of the Appeal Court.
Bulkachuwa bowed out of the bench after clocking the statutory retirement age of 70 years for justices of the Appeal Court in 2020.
