Why Appeal Court President withdrew from presidential election tribunal

Appeal court president, Zainab Bulkachuwa heading the inaugural session of the presidential tribunal on WednesdayThe Court of Appeal President, Zainab Bulkachuwa, has recused herself from presiding over and being a member of the presidential election petition tribunal.Mrs Bulkachuwa announced the decision after a five-member panel of the court ruled against the application brought by the Peoples Democratic Party .

The PDP also asked Mrs Bulkachuwa to recuse herself from further presiding or participating as a member of the tribunal after the party cited some of her comments during the tribunal’s inaugural seating. Mr Uzoukwu also cited sections of their application which, according to him, amounted to the real likelihood of bias against Mrs Bulkachuwa.

He added that the constitution does not allow for such discrimination and that the provisions of the constitution are wide enough to ensure justice prevails for all parties. He said the president of the court is empowered to either seat on the tribunal’s panel or select members who will sit on the panel.
