A former president of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA,
Olisa Agbakoba, has described Senator Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa’s statement at
the Valedictory of the 9th Senate as a monumental disgrace for the country’s
institutions.
Recall that NigerianEye earlier reported that a disturbing
video of Bulkachuwa, the current senator representing Bauchi North Senatorial
District, emerged online in which he was seen bragging about how he influenced
the decision of his wife, Zainab Bulkachuwa, a retired Justice of the Appeal
Court.
Bulkachuwa bowed out of the bench after clocking the
statutory retirement age of 70 years for justices of the Appeal Court in 2020.
The video obtained showed the statement was reportedly made
during the valedictory session of the 9th Senate.
Reacting to the developments, Agbakoba, in a statement
forwarded to DAILY POST on Tuesday, said Bulkachuwa deserved to be taken up
immediately by the authorities.
He also urged President Bola Tinubu to cleanse the system in
a most dramatic and fundamental process if he wished to succeed.
The statement read, “Senator Bulkachuwa’s statement at the
Valedictory of the 9th Senate is a monumental disgrace for our institutions.
This man deserves to be taken up immediately by the authorities. It is a blight
on my confidence in our systems.
“I represented Usman Tuggar in relation to disputed
elections between him and Senator Bulkachuwa for Bauchi North senatorial. We
lost in 3 courts. Senator Bulkachuwa seems to suggest why. It remains for
President Tinubu to cleanse the system in a most dramatic and fundamental
process if he wishes to succeed.
“The chairman of NDIC has also made dramatic revelations pointing
to possible deep rot in our systems of Government responsible for financial and
monetary policy. The president ought to act now!!”
