The party is challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February presidential election.
Bulkachuwa’s husband is a senator-elect of the governing All Progressives Congress, a ground upon which atiku Abubakar and the PDP asked her to recuse herself.
The judge announced her decision to recuse herself on Wednesday despite the panel ruling against the PDP.
