    Justice Bulkachuwa Breaks Silence, Says I never compromised my office…. Husband also Reacts

    Justice Bulkachuwa Breaks Silence, Says I never compromised my office…. Husband also Reacts

    The immediate past President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, has defended her judicial integrity following a comment by her husband, former Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa, that he obtained favours from from her on behalf of his fellow senators.

    Justice Bulkachuwa said she never, in her 40-year judicial career, compromised her oath of office.

    The former PCA bowed out of the Bench in March 2020 after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70 years.

    But the spotlight was cast on her tenure last Tuesday following the release of a video clip showing her husband making comments many interpreted as evidence of his interference in her performance of her duties as head of the country’s second highest court and possibly influencing her judicial decisions.

    But repudiating the interpretation of judicial compromise on her part, Justice Bulkachuwa, in a statement dated June 17, said such insinuation was far from the truth.

    The former PCA said: “My attention has been drawn to the trending video of what was said by my husband Senator Adamu M. Bulkachuwa.

    ” My decisions were always based on the facts, the law and in accordance with 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.”

     

    A lawmaker that represented Bauchi North in the 9th Senate, Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa, has debunked allegations that he interfered with his wife’s job as President of the Court of Appeal.

     

    Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa served as President the Court of Appeal from 2014 to 2020.

     

    Senator Bulkachuwa came under criticism when he openly said that used his position to solicit favours on behalf of his friends while she was President of Nigeria’s court of appeal.

    Meanwhile, her husband who is also a lawyer cleared the air saying that he never influenced his wife’s decisions as appeal court judge

    Speaking with BBC Hausa, the former senator said Lawan did not allow him to finish his thoughts.

    “Well, I was not even allowed to finish up, I just began by thanking her. She tolerated me, I am in politics while she was in law.

    “The favours I solicited from her, it was her nature to help people. I didn’t even explain what kind of help I was referring to, every employee whether lawyer, engineer or doctor can render assistance in their work. Assistance doesn’t mean that you contravene the law or do something wrong,” he said.

    According to Bulkachuwa, there is no truth in the allegations levelled against him of interfering with his wife’s job
