The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, had argued through their lead counsel, Dr. Levy Uzoukwu (SAN) that Bulkachuwa had relationship with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because her husband is one of the senators-elect.

After listening to applications of the petitioners and the respondents, Bulkachuwa said she would rule on the application at 2pm.
