Presidential election tribunal: Protesters ask Bulkachuwa to recuse self
Secretariat workers at the People’s Democratic Party have called on the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa to recuse herself from Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.
According to them, with her husband as senator-elect on the platform of the All Progressives Congress , Bulkachuwa cannot maintain neutrality as head of the tribunal. Some of the placards displayed by the workers read, “Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa: You cannot preside over your own case, your husband is a senator-elect under the APC; “Justice is not for the most powerful, it must be seen to be right and done; and “On moral grounds, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa recuse yourself from the presidential tribunal”.The workers maintained that the inclusion of Bulkachuwa in the panel of jurists has eroded their confidence in the tribunal.
Nwankwo also accused the Independent National Electoral Commission of bias in the conduct of the election, adding that Atiku cannot reclaim his mandate as long as Justice Bulkachuwa remained a member of the tribunal.
