The President of the Court of Appeal, Zainab Bulkachuwa, has recused herself from presiding or being a member of the presidential election petition tribunal.

Her decision follows a petition by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Both parties are challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February presidential election.
