9th Senate Valedictory Session: Former Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa Blames Lawan For Making Nigerians Misrepresent His Comments
Adamu Bulkachuwa, who represented Bauchi North in the 9th senate, has denied that he influenced his wife’s decisions while serving as President of the Court of Appeal.
The former senator’s wife, Zainab Bulkachuwa, was the first female President of the court of appeal and she retired from the bench in March 2020.
‘I look at faces in this chamber whom have come to me and sought for my help when my wife was the President of the Court of Appeal, and I’m sure…
And I must thank particularly, my wife, whose freedom and independence I encroached upon while she was in office, and she has been very tolerant and accepted my encroachment, and extended her help to my colleagues…’ Bulkachuwa had submitted while giving his speech during the valedictory session of the 9th senate a few days ago.
This had given birth to torrent of reactions with a former President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA),Olisa Agbakoba, calling for his arrest .
‘Senator Bulkachuwa’s statement at the valedictory of the 9th senate is a monumental disgrace for our institutions. This man deserves to be taken up immediately by the authorities. It is blight on my confidence in our systems.
We lost in 3 courts. Senator Bulkachuwa seems to suggest why’ the senior advocate had said in a statement.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned the embattled former senator in an interview with the BBC Hausa service has however asserted that his statements were misrepresented while laying the blame for this at former Senate President Ahmad Lawan’s door.
‘Well, I was not even allowed to finish, I just started with some words like thanking her, saying she was patient with me as she was legal practitioner and I am a politician.
I wanted to elaborate on the specific nature of the help she provided, as there exists a wide range of support that professionals in various fields, such as legal practitioners, doctors, or engineers, can offer in their respective roles.
Note that this assistance does not involve any illegal or unethical activities.
In my personal relationship with her, I have never imposed upon her professional autonomy or attempted to influence her judgment in handling cases or running her office. Such matters are not even discussed in our home’ he submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com
