As the oldest serving member of the Senate, I did a quick search on Bulkachuwa but couldn't find any inspiring news about him.

When he's not coercing his wife, Justice Zainab to favour his colleagues, he's dishing out bigotry against Igbos. 2mrw, they'll say they're heroes past. pic.twitter.com/aQ3iHFLKsJ

This is Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, the former President of your Court of Appeal. Her husband told the Senate President that he influenced his wife’s decisions. If Nigeria is not a serious joke, the NJC would commence the REVIEW of all her judgments in the last 5 yrs, immediately. pic.twitter.com/w5lPaVzl5D

Unbelievable that a Senator whose wife was the president of the court of appeal could brag how he influenced her decisions. He embarrassed the senate president by revealing the open truth about Nigeria’s judiciary.  We must give Senator Bulkachuwa a national award as a… pic.twitter.com/yYg35eS3P0

Justice Bulkachuwa had been asked by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to recuse herself from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on the grounds that she is an interested party in the case.

Her husband, Adamu Bulkachuwa, and brother, Inuwa Yahaya are Senator-elect and Governor-elect respectively on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

*Authority Newspaper* in an exclusive reports, had claimed that the Chairman of the Presidential Election Tribunal, Justice Zainab BULKACHUWA, was purportedly indicted for bribery and corruption by a certain Secret Memo of the Secret Service.

But the Department of State Services, DSS, had denied the reports of its alleged indictment of the Chairman of the Presidential Election Tribunal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa.

In a statement signed by the DSS spokesman, Mr Peter Afunanya, the agency described the report as ‘false’.

“The DSS categorically states that the said Memo only exists in the imagination of the writers and should be roundly disregarded by the reading public.

“It is unfortunate that the Newspaper followed unethical ways to publish this falsehood. It is rather curious and indeed condemnable that the Newspaper did not reach out to the Service for its comments as would have been expected in a reportage of this nature.

“The Service has, nonetheless, launched a detailed investigation into the controversies surrounding the said publication.

“It is the wish of the Service that it is left out of the manoeuvres of politicians who are hereby advised to abide by the rule of law and respect the entire process of electoral litigations regarding the activities of the tribunal.

“While it (the Service) will continue to collaborate with the media as strategic partners in nation building, it admonishes practitioners to be lawful and professional in the execution of their responsibility.

“However, mischief makers, intent on causing disaffection in the polity are warned to desist from such acts as the full weight of the law will be visited on defaulters.

“The DSS remains unwavering in providing the enabling environment for the pursuit of legitimate aspirations by well-meaning and law-abiding members of the populace.”
