why Bulkachuwa step down to recuse herself Click HERE for MORE
The five-man panel in a unanimous ruling held that the said motion lacked any merit to warrant the tribunal to grant it.
However, Justice Bulkachuwa personally decided to recuse herself on the ground that the law has been properly stated.
Giving reasons for her decision, the judge said: ”I have allowed the ruling on the application urging me to rescue my membership of the tribunal to test the position of the law.
“Now that the application has been dismissed on account of incompetence, I hereby announce my withdrawal from the panel.
“The remaining four members of the panel would remain while step would be taken to appoint my replacement’’, she said.
Meanwhile, Naija News understands that Justice Bulkachuwa’s husband is a senator-elect of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, a ground upon which the former Vice President and the PDP asked her to recuse herself.
