Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, President of Court of Appeal and head of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, has recused herself from the position.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has been at the forefront of asking Justice Bulkachuwa to recuse herself, citing the husband’s membership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as reason she must not be the right person to head the presidential election tribunal.
The PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar is in court to persuade Justice Bulkachuwa to step down from the job.
