Former senator Bulkachuwa had bragged about encroaching on the 'freedom and independence' of his wife while she served as president of the appellate court.
Zainab Bulkachuwa was the President of the Court of Appeal between 2014 and 2020. She retired from the court after clocking the mandatory retirement age of 70.
“My wife, whose freedom and independence I encroached upon while was in office, and she has been very tolerant and accepted my encroachment and extended her help to my colleagues,” said Mr Bulkachuwa, 83, during the senate’s proceedings. But Mr Bulkachuwa, in an interview with the BBC Hausa, said his words were taken out of context, saying Mr Lawan’s interruption prevented him from completing his thought.
