Justice Bulkachuwa Breaks Silence On Husband’s Speech

Post created on 1:00 pm

The wife of Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa who represented Bauchi North in the 9th Assembly,  Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa has defended her judicial integrity.

She was reacting to comments by her husband that he used his position to ask a favour for his colleagues from his wife, the immediate past President of the Court of Appeal.

The comments by Justice Bulkachuwa’s husband had caused outbursts from Nigerians with the likes of Olisa Agbakoba, former President of the Nigeria Bar Association calling for the arrest of the former senator.

In Justice Bulkachuwa’s statement, she said such insinuation was far from the truth.

“My attention has been drawn to the trending video of what was said by my husband Senator Adamu M. Bulkachuwa. I want to state categorically that I never at any time compromised my oath of office to favour any party who appeared before me throughout my judicial career spanning 40 years of service to my country.

“My decisions were always based on the facts, the law and following my conscience and oath of office.

“Also, as President of the Court of Appeal, my fellow justices of the court can attest to the fact that I never interfered with the independence of any of the justices of the court in the discharge of their judicial functions.”

However, in an earlier interview with BBC Hausa, the senator said he was misrepresented because Former Senate President Ahmad Lawan, interrupted him while he was explaining.
