The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja has affirmed the election
of Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, had declared Bala of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, winner of the
March 18 governorship election.
But the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Sadique Abubakar rejected the outcome of the election and sought redress in the
court.
The Bauchi State Governorship Election Tribunal had
dismissed the APC candidate’s petition, upholding the election of Bala.
But Sadique dragged the matter to the appeal court,
insisting that the March 18 poll was marred by irregularities.
However, ruling on the matter on Friday, the panel of three
justices, who were unanimous, upheld the verdict of the tribunal.
