Adamu Bulkachuwa, a senator representing Bauchi north, says\u00a0Zainab Bulkachuwa<\/a>, his wife, used her position as a judge to favour his colleagues in the senate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zainab, a former president of the court of appeal, was the first female to hold the position.<\/p>\n

She presided over the 2007 Sokoto state governorship election petition tribunal and the suit in which Timipre Sylva, former governor of Bayelsa, challenged the nomination of Seriake Dickson, an ex-governor of the state, as the flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n

Speaking at the senate valedictory session on Saturday, Bulkachuwa said he often influenced his wife\u2019s decisions while she was in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticularly, my wife, whose freedom and independence I encroached upon while she was in office,\u201d the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she has been very tolerant and accepted my encroachment and extended her help to my colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahmad Lawan, outgoing senate president who presided over the valedictory session, interrupted the senator before he spoke any further.<\/p>\n
