en In Nigeria, have described the application filed before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, asking the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, to withdraw her membership of the five-man panel as ‘discrimination against women’.

But in a statement signed by the Executive Director, CISLAC, Auwal Ibrahim Musa, and Ms. Chioma Kanu of Women In Nigeria, the groups described the application by the PDP as a case of gender dsicrimination “under a baseless political reason and unjustified grounds that her spouse is a member of a political party”.

“CISLAC and WIN work assiduously to advocate for gender equity and inclusiveness in appointive and elective positions with the view of achieving full implementation of the 35 per cent Affirmative Action for Women by governments at all levels.

Replace her with another female so simple

It is only in Nigeria that a judge wants to preside over her son & husband's case. Some judges actually don't have shame. 😔

They Don begin dey crase again....Smh

Agreed

I always say Nigerians are not normal people. They are backwards and not willing to move forward. How do we reason in the country? Who did this to us.

One aspect.

The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Center and the Women in Nigeria groups are not political institutions so they are only thinking about their gender and not the affiliation implications of it. I will pardon them for their myopic understanding of issues here.

Which stupid group is this?

Absurd groups.

Atiku is a lover of women, but I don't why he's to nail Bulkachuwa to the stake. Now that the clog is out, can we make progress? Time is running fast

That group is made up of mad people

Some so called groups don't seem to understand the rules of engagement. Let's say it's in an advance country she will resign on her own

When referee and a club wear same uniform, what is the sign

She should honorably step down....except she has no shame and lacks integrity

A woman of honour!

This country is such a huge joke. I'm sure some groups would've supported & even staged a protest for Judas Iscariot.

Nonsense

This is how they continue to debase this country.

Leave gender issues out of this! It's a moral thing!!!

Feminists are the greatest idiots we have today. You say something serious, they bring gender. You joke, they bring gender. What kind of humans behave this way if not the ones with low IQ?

This group will leave the objective matter and be Laying enfaces on subjective matter. Must we politicise everything in this country? Nawaooo

There are other women who are qualified

Nigeria is not good, Nigeria is very bad. These are also victims of bad governance who have sold their conscience for peanuts to protest. Shame shame

They are not serious...

What useless rented group of morons is this? So they like the way the Nigerian ship sails abi? Ndi ûchû..

Nigeria people funny, everything is politics for them

This faceless group are rented court jesters. How come we never heard of them before? It is obvious they were locked up in the other room and only let out for this special assignment by Buhari.🤡🤪

The level of illiteracy and self-inflicted stupidity in this country is alarming. Is this group aware that Justice Bulkachuwa's husband is an APC Senator-elect?

That's a stupid assertion; because of her connection to APC via her husband and son there is a conflict of interest. Secondly d law does not know if she is a female of male. The law is blind to her sex. She is seen as a judge nothing more nothingless .

What is really so difficult in recusing herself? Is there an ulterior motive? All this Drama groups should please shut up!

All this women advocacy group are becoming hate and uncivilized organizations. Do they even know what the law says in this scenario? Always forming stupid feminism.

Lol is she the only female to study law

All of these are distractions

Carry this your feminism rubbish comot for here and address issue. Na only d woman dey court of appeal? Nonsense!

How can you put some one to rule against him or herself? This is simple reasoning or should I say common sense. This has nothing to do gender equality. Fair is Fair.

Ride on Hajiya Zainab Bulkachuwa, we are solidly behind you. No weapon passion against you, shall prosper. In Shaa Allah!

Rubbish! There is no woman at the Bar/Bench. Everyone is a gentleman!

Was Mary Odili's stepping down not crime against humanity?

The group don't advocate for female Governor or political parties chairmanship.even president.

Which group again? Why must this government always use unreasonable excuses! This is a personal thing, she should recuse herself!

Another distraction, She should recuse her self simple

Which kind of people are we why cant she recuse herself Haba

Common sense isn’t common indeed! She can be replaced with another female judge, simple!

Faceless group

Nonsense! The Law recognizes the influence of a conflict of interest on a case &thus made provisions to address it where concerns are raised.The argument of discrimination in the matter at hand has little or no bearing whatsoever except the satisfaction of sentimental frivolities

What is this group trying to achieve by calling for reverse psychology in this matter.....

Any Director that his/her wife or husband is a PDP member should be ready to be sack from service because they will frustrate the APC govt Is this ok for PDP, Atiku and his bundle of buffoon legal team?

Let another woman take her place. It is when it comes to things like this that you hear voices but when it comes to demanding the release of the only remaining kidnapped young because of her faith and belief no way, no voice would be raised.

Another dimension 😬 🇳🇬

Nonsense... This is what I call 'reverse psychology'..... Let her step aside for fairness...

Nigeria this is the only country where wrong things are backed by law bcoz it favours the govt in power so why go around arresting yahoo boys when dis is also a form of yahoo, zero morals.

This country

Rubish ...

You can see now why growth and development will be difficult to attain in this Nation.. Its either gender, ethnicity or religion we place any issue affecting the Nation.. Regrettably, the menace is being transferred from generation to generation..

Lol. What is the name of the group? OK....... Same ghost group.

What kind of stupid discrimination is that..? It is wrong to preside over a case at which you have some personal relationship with the accused..... Provide us with another Judge even if its a female as long as its not Bulkachuwa. This country is Confused honestly... 😕😕

POlitical women or real women? specify pls

We should leave gender sentiment out of this particular issue.

Funny country.
