Bulkachuwa’s Confession: Ezekwesili Blasts Judiciary, Political Class

2023: Why I Support Peter Obi’s Candidature – Former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili

Oby Ezekwesili has admonished the judiciary and the political class to embark on a journey of self-cleansing to earn public respect.

 

She took to tweeter to express disgust at how the immediate past Senate President, Ahmed Lawan swiftly moved to cover crime and called on the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to institute an enquiry into the political cases decided under the influence of Senator Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa, (APC-Bauchi State).

 

This follows the theatre of the absurd which played out at the valedictory session of the Senate, recently, of which many Nigerians are still finding it hard to recover from the shock.

 

Ezekwesili took to her verified tweeter handle, @obyezeks to fire several salvos at the judiciary and the political class, insisting that they have been hawking our democracy.

 

She tweeted, “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 confession of crime.”

 

Biztellers reports that Senator Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa, (APC-Bauchi State) had made it clear that he presided over the Appeal Court, through his wife, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa to swing judicial decisions in favour of political allies.

 

Biztellers reports that Justice Bulkachuwa occupied the exalted position of President of the Appeal Court until she retired at the mandatary age of 70 years.

 

Though the immediate past Senate President, Sen Lawan, probably understood the gravity of Sen Bulkachuwa’s uncensored and indiscreet utterances, and tried to stop him, the can of worms was already opened.

 

Ezekwesili and her likes have now laid hold of the dirty linens washed in the public at the valedictory session to insist that the judiciary has to show cause why the public must continue to repose confidence in them.

 

“The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court should immediately institute investigation of all election cases that came before the former President of Appeal Court, the wife of the confessing Senator that compromised her if there’s any honor left in the Judiciary of this country,” she tweeted.

 

Recall that during the same session, Senator Rochas Okorocha (APC-Imo State) wondered how Senator Lawan managed to return to the Senate without being nominated. A feat, the former Senate President also attributed to the judiciary, even though he didn’t have to appeal the decisions of the court.

 

It does appear that with Sen Bulkachuwa’s confessions, Nigerians who have been at sea as to how a candidate who placed fourth in a gubernatorial election in Imo State became governor can now begin to sail ashore.
