The governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Bauchi State, Ambassador Shuiabu Adamu, has commended President Buhari for firing Justice Walter Onnoghen, for alleged corrupt act, saying it is long overdue.

Adamu, who spoke to journalists in Bauchi on Saturday, said what the President did was the right thing considering the fact that there was an established corruption case against the suspended CJN as contained in his purported written confessional statement.

He said, “As far as I am concerned, I want to align myself with the action of Mr. President. In fact, I feel that it should have been done much earlier without even wasting time about all these court cases that kept coming up.

“The facts are there; they should just have been presented to the CJN at that time and ask him to resign, and if he doesn’t resign, this action that was taken should have been taken.”
