Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili has
slammed the former Senate President, Ahmad Lawan for covering up the confession
of a crime, saying he should be ashamed.
Ezekwesili, in a post via her verified Twitter handle on
Tuesday, called on the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to immediately
institute an investigation of all election cases that came before Zainab
Bulkachuwa, a former President of the Appeal Court.
Her statement followed an emergence of a disturbing video of
Senator Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa, who represented Bauchi North senatorial
district, bragging about how he influenced the decision of his wife,
cBulkachuwa, a retired Justice of the Appeal Court.
Zainab Bulkachuwa bowed out of the bench after clocking the
statutory retirement age of 70 years for justices of the Appeal Court in 2020.
However, at a valedictory session of the 9th Senate,
Bulkachuwa made comments insinuating that he influenced many of his wife’s
decisions.
“Particularly my wife, whose freedom and independence I
encroached upon when she was in office, and she has been very tolerant and
accepted my encroachment and extended her help to my colleagues,” Bulkachuwa
said in the video before he was interrupted by the Senate President, Ahmed
Lawan.
Unsettled by the statement, Lawan told him, “I don’t think
this is a good idea going towards this direction.”
However, Ezekwesili said the Nigerian Judiciary and a
corrupted political class were steadily confirming how they trade the nation’s
democracy
She wrote, “The Nigerian Judiciary and a corrupted political
class are steadily confirming how they trade our Democracy.
What was that Senator saying in the Senate Chamber again?
The outgone Senate President @DrAhmadLawan should be ashamed
of himself for covering up a confession of a crime.
“The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court should immediately
institute an investigation into all election cases that came before the former
President of Appeal Court, the wife of the confessing Senator who compromised
her if there’s any honour left in the Judiciary of this country.”
