A Nigerian senator, Adamu Bulkachuwa, has come under fire after confessing to influencing the decisions of his wife, Zainab, while she was serving as a judge and President of the Court of Appeal.
“Distinguished, I don’t think this is a good idea going this direction. It is not a good idea, please,” Mr Lawan retorted, stopping Mr Bulkachuwa from further spilling the beans. The party alleged that Mrs Bulkachuwa would not adjudicate on the case impartially due to her tie to her husband, then a senator-elect on the platform of the APC, and her son, Aliyu Abubakar, who was a governorship aspirant on the platform of the party.
Public confidence in Nigeria’s judiciary has plummeted in recent times in the light of decisions of courts that were seen as unpopular.A former president of the Nigerian Bar Association , Olisa Agbakoba, described Mr Bulkachuwa’s remark as “a monumental disgrace for our institutions.”
