It would be recalled that Senator Bulkachuwa during the valedictory session of the senate on June 10, was heard in a video that he encroached on his wife’s space while she was in office.
“And she has been very tolerant and accepted my encroachment and extended her help to my colleagues,” part of his comment read.
This, however, generated reactions from Nigerians and called for an investigation. But in a swift reaction, the Senator in an interview with BBC said he was not allowed by the former senate president to finish his thought.
To this, his wife said her judgements were based on facts presented to the court adding that she never compromise her oath of office.
She said, “My attention has been drawn to the trending video of what was said by my husband Senator Adamu M. Bulkachuwa.
“I want to state categorically that I never at any time compromised my oath of office to favour any party who appeared before me throughout my judicial career spanning 40 years of service to my country.
“My decisions were always based on the facts, the law and in accordance with my conscience and oath of office.”
Zainab Bulkachuwa added that former “justices of the court can attest to the fact that I never interfered with the independence of any of the justices of the court in the discharge of their judicial functions.”
