Supreme Court upholds Bala Mohammed’s election as Bauchi governor
By Ebere Agozie
The Supreme Court on Friday, upheld the election of Bala Mohammed as duly elected governor of Bauchi State.
The Judgment was delivered by Justice Ibrahim Saulawa.
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi state,
Sadique Abubakar’s efforts at the two lower courts to unseat the Gov. Mohammed were not successful.
Abubakar had alleged massive non-compliance with the electoral act during the poll at the two courts.
His petition at the tribunal and appeal at the appellate court were dismissed for lacking in merit.
The two courts held that he did not prove his allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
Reading the lead judgment on Friday, Justice Ibrahim Saulawa resolved all the six issues against the appellant and held that the appeal was devoid of merit.(NAN)
