Bauchi Tribunal Upholds Bala Mohammed’s Election Victory

Bauchi State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has confirmed the victory of Governor Bala Mohammed at the March 18 2023 Governorship election.

The Tribunal, led by Justice Kwahar, struck out the petition filed by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Retired Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar, challenging the victory of Bala Mohammed as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Delivering the judgement, Justice Kwahar held that the court has no grounds to nullify the election as the petitioners failed to provide convincing evidence.

Reacting to the court’s verdict, Governor Bala Mohammed who described the development as a victory to the country’s democracy, commended the tribunal for meeting the overwhelming expectation of people.

He appreciated the sacrifices made by his legal team, the State party officials and supporters during the court’s proceedings.

While calling on the opposition to submit to the will of God by shelving their sword, Bala Mohammed said governance would now take centre stage to consolidate on his achievements.

On his part, lead council to the plaintiff, Mr Kola Olawaye said they would apply for the certified copy of the judgement and discuss with his client for further action.
