The retired female judge and her husband, a former Nigerian senator, Adamu Bulkachuwa, have come under fire since last week after the ex-lawmaker confessed to influencing the decisions of his wife while she was serving as a judge and President of the Court of Appeal.
But breaking her silence on her husband’s recent confession of compromising her decisions to the advantage of his senator colleagues while she was in office, Justice Bulkachuwa denied any wrongdoing, Channels Television reported.
Reacting, @JaypeeGeneral wrote on his verified Twitter handle with an accompanying video of the controversial clip:
“Senator Bulkachuwa and Justice Bulkachuwa (rtd.) should rewatch this video and stop distracting Nigerians with unnecessary headlines in the media.
“Justice Bulkachuwa violated her oath of office by giving numerous favorable judgements to politicians.
“Her husband clearly confirmed it on the floor of the Senate Chamber!”
Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa finally breaks silence
Legit.ng had earlier reported that Justice Zainab defended her judicial integrity.
She was reacting to comments by her husband that he used his position to ask favour for his colleagues from his wife, the immediate past President of the Court of Appeal.
In a statement, Justice Bulkachuwa said such insinuation was far from the truth.
Her statement partly reads:
“I want to state categorically that I never at any time compromised my oath of office to favour any party.”
Bulkachuwa clears air on remark about influencing wife’s decision in appeal court
Legit.ng also reported that Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa cleared the air on his comment that he influenced the decisions of his wife, Zainab Bulkachuwa, while serving as the president of the Court of Appeal.
As reported by Daily Trust, the comment was made at the valedictory session of the 9th Assembly before he was interrupted by the ex-Senate President Ahmad Lawan.
