The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , in the February 23 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar and his party the PDP has asked the Presidential Election Panel to replace tribunal Chairman, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, with another Justice of the Court of Appeal over likelihood of bias.
In the motion on notice dated May 16 and filed same day by their lead counsel, Dr Levy Uzoukwu SAN, the petitioners based their request on the claim that Bulkachuwa will be biased against them in the hearing of their petition against the outcome of the February 23 presidential poll. Besides, Atiku and PDP claimed that Justice Bulkachuwa is the biological mother of one Aliyu Haidar Abubakar, a prominent card carrying member of the APC and a gubernatorial aspirant in Gombe State at the last general election.
They averred that Justice Bulkachuwa, who is the spouse of Adamu Mohammed Bulkachuwa, is a stakeholder in the APC and may not be able to give acceptable judgment in the petition.
All the reasons given are nonsense but I smell rat here, that Atiku is afraid of revenge or vengeance for the wrong he has done somewhere then let him come out plain and stop making mockery of our judiciary
Give the job to a moral decay since this one wont accept atiku’s bribe!
