Who is begging? Is Justice Odili presiding over any case that involves PDP? No.
Why?
Because there is likelihood of bias should she be allowed to preside such case.
So why is the Judiciary and FG trying to make this one an exception?
What she did is the right thing expected of her.
Let's for once stop deceiving ourselves.




i think its time pdp & there sympathisers stop wrestling with shadows, i believe these is another stalling tactics by the pdp just to buy time to see who n who atiku dollar can buy ... i can imagine playing league on PS , anytime computer is leading @ 80min i reset grin
The badsnews still remain for pdp & there sympathizers, bulkachuwa might have step aside but she will still be the one to appoint the judges for the panel. so whats the point, they thot bulkachuwa would refuse then another noise we start, all a loser ever want is consistent sympathy grin mothafvckas
As anyone seen apc members advocate for bulkachuwa so far, like we saw pdp crying for justice onnoghen.. atiku losing is as imminent as chelsea will lose to arsenal come may29th europa champions grin

State001:
Former Vice-President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has explained his decision to request that the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, withdraws from the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.

Igbere TV reports that Abubakar and his party, PDP, are challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 23 presidential election. They asked Justice Bulkachuwa to withdraw from the five-member panel she headed. They based their demand on Bulkachuwa’s relationship with an APC leader. Igbere TV gathered that her husband is a Bauchi Senator-elect on the APC platform.

On Wednesday, the Tribunal ruled against Abubakar and the PDP. It said both parties could not prove the possibility of bias against the judge and that Justice Bulkachuwa’s husband was not a party to the suit.

Despite the ruling of the Tribunal, however, Bulkachuwa refused herself from the panel on ‘personal grounds.’

In a statement sent to Igbere TV Thursday morning, Abubakar said his “legal team’s objection was not a reflection on Justice Bulkachuwa’s character or competence.”

“As a matter of fact, I have great respect for her, being a pioneer and advocate for gender equality and female empowerment,” he said.

Full Statement,

“One of the principal maxims of the Common Law is nemo judex in causa sua (no man shall be a judge in his own case). The call by my legal team for Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa to recuse herself from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal was predicated on this principle, being that her husband, Alhaji Mohammed Bulkachuwa, is an All Progressives Congress Senator-elect and the case she was expected to adjudicate upon had a bearing on that party.

“My legal team’s objection was not a reflection on Justice Bulkachuwa’s character or competence. As a matter of fact, I have great respect for her, being a pioneer and advocate for gender equality and female empowerment.

“It is with this in mind that I commend Justice Bulkachuwa for recusing herself from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal Panel hearing my petition against the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Her action showed courage and is an act of patriotism. She has, by this action, increased the confidence the public have for the judiciary.

“Not only do I commend her, I also pray, especially in this holy month of Ramadan, that Justice will be done by the tribunal according to the fear of God and not in keeping with respect for the powers that be.

“May God bless the judiciary and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Medicine after death. Desperation to become President only to enrich his friends has driven Atiku to shoot himself in the foot. Who asked for his explanations on this matter? Judges are human! You wrongly accused somebody damaging her image in the process just to become President and you expect her colleagues to smile at you. It was one killer of a wrong decision Atiku made in the call for Bulkachuwa to recuse herself! Cheap blackmail that will tar Atiku for all time!

LIKE AMINA ZAKARI, THEY JUST ‘MURDERED’ ZAINAB BULKACHUWA
The professional northern women who defied very constricted cultural and religious limits to climb up to the pinnacle of their chosen career are violently being haunted and subdued by vicious coordinated onslaughts. It started with Mrs Amina Zakari of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) who was hoarded, harassed and eventually denied what was her constitutional rights. When she was to be named chairman of the commission, vitriolic voices rose against her choice, according to the jejune judgments of the naysayers, she is a relative of President Muhammadu Buhari and that sealed her fate! For sharing an affinity with the president, she is thus unfit to assume positions she is eminently qualified for.
Not done with her, the fifth estate of ruins and depilating venom came viciously on her again when she was announced head of Election Collation Committee, like swam of flies perched rottenly on maggots infested faeces, they rose in anger tearing her to shreds. Her offence, they say was drawn out of the unfair allegation that she was related to President Muhammadu Buhari. While these elements unleashed their venom on this woman who worked diligently to reached her position, the world watched unconcerned that an innocent woman was been maligned and harangued by the very fact that she is a woman and from the north. Common sense was thrown to the wind as no one talked about her competence and the toils she endured to be one of the top shots at the Independent National Electoral Commission. Collectively, we conspired deliberately with our measured silence as we watched the orchestrated extermination of this woman’s dream.
In furtherance of their vicious game plan, the traducer hell bent in emasculating the rising fortunes of northern women are at it again, this time, and their evil onslaught is on another shining northern woman, her name is Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, President of the Court of Appeal. The same feeble argument put forth by those who wrecked Mrs Amina Zakari is the same template they are using for Zainab Bulkachuwa. Tragically, at the forefront of this barbaric clampdown is the People’s Democratic Party. For a party that has produced presidents and formed governments for Nigeria’s sixteen years of 20 years of democracy to champion such an offensive campaign against a woman is to say how debased, we have become as a nation.

In the basket of their mischief mills, they feared the neutrality of Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa who is the president of the Court of Appeal over matters pertaining to election petitions. In their faulty trepidations, they argued that Justice Zainab is married to the Bauchi North-Senator elect Ambassador Adamu Bulkachuwa. The traducer consumed in their jaundiced feeling seems to be convinced that judgments of the tribunals will favour the ruling All Progressive People’s Congress (APC) on the basis that Ambassador Bulkachuwa belongs to the party. What a pedestrian conclusion by people who prides themselves as seasoned strategists! So for this singular denominator, the career of this woman be halted and thrown away because she is a woman and married to a politician who happens to be in the ruling party? As I opined previously, the tragedy of reality is to be entombed in ignorance especially as it pertains to the workings of the law. That one’s spouse is the head of the court does not in any way translate to being an unfair beneficiary of the law. The law exists above the dictates of anyone, for the law recognizes facts and not rhetoric. To opine that the All Progressives Congress is using Adamu Bulkachuwa as a subterfuge to curry undeserved advantages from Justice Zainab is, to say the least, an unkind and unfair thing to say.
If indeed we are really worried about the ugly situation in the north where girls are married out early and denied education, then we must put a halt to this orchestrated onslaught on northern women who defied all odds to extricate themselves from the shackles of oppressive dogmatism. The world moves in accelerated strides when women are empowered to take equal lead with men. In a world defined by fairness, equality and equity, progress in human aspirations are assured and humanity better off. Let’s have a world where men and women are mutual partners in development.
Like Amina Zakari, Justice Zainab is on the burning clay of those whose trade is silenced the rising voices of women, particularly in the north. If Justice Mary Odili whose husband is a top member of the People’s Democratic Party has sat on the bench of the Supreme Court unhindered, why is Justice Zainab suffering all the bashing and forced attempt to dislodge her from the bench of the Appeal Court hearing the petitions from the recent elections outcome in Nigeria? Just this evening, like Amina Zakari, they just killed the dream of Zainab Bulkachuwa, another victim of womanhood.
Disgustingly musing
