Abbo stated this while addressing newsmen in Yola on
Monday.
He stated that his temporary political predicament
gave him the opportunity to concentrate on his family, and his wives have now
given birth to children.
“I never had a child in my life until the unholy court
ruling that sent me back home. So, I think the judgment was in my interest.
When God wants to bless you, he uses your enemies to bless you,” he said.
“ People should create chance no matter the money
they are making from their offices or business to spend fruitful time with
their family. It helps you to know what your family members want and how they
are missing you. Money is not everything in life. Just imagine me staying at
the Senate for eight years without a child, so the money is for who?” he
asked.
Meanwhile, Abbo has condemned the alleged corruption
going on in the judiciary.
He argued that the Nigerian democracy will fail to
grow if the judiciary is not overhauled to deliver justice and not injustice.
Abbo shared his reservation in Yola during an
interaction with journalists.
The erstwhile senator, who was sacked this year by the
Appeal Court sitting in Abuja after earlier winning his case at the Tribunal to
return to the Senate for a second term of legislative duties, claimed that the
case of vote-buying was more pronounced in the courts than in practice in the
real sense of it
“ My mandate was kidnapped in the courtroom by
some judiciary bandits sitting on the throne of judgment.
“Judgment is from God, so if you are appointed as a
judge, it means you are representing God on earth. So, if you collect money to
deliver injustice, you will answer before your creator on the last day, ”
he said.
He alleged further, “A top judicial officer came
to my hotel room in Abuja with his wife demanding money on behalf of the judges
handling my case. I have the camera records. I want to talk to his people in
Taraba State to caution him so that his career may not be terminated
prematurely because of bribe money.”
The senator, who dwelled heavily on the height of
corruption in the judiciary, also pointed out that the political leadership in
the north has collapsed due to the selfish interest of some of the leaders in
the region.
“ You cannot blame president Bola Tinubu, because
majority of the northern leaders went to him and bargained for their personal
gains and not on behalf of the north, so they have already harvested what
belongs to the entire north,” he added.
On his political ambition to contest for the
governorship of the state come 2027, he disclosed that he is still making
consultations with stakeholders and that he will soon make a public declaration
on his ambition after he concludes his consultations.
