The Supreme Court has upheld the gubernatorial election of Bala Mohammed of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. It declared Mohammed on Monday as the duly elected governor of Bauchi state.
This is just as the Supreme Court also dismissed an appeal marked SC/1502, which the immediate past governor of the state and candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Mohammed Abubakar, filed to challenge the outcome of the governorship election.
Justice Mohammed Dattijo who delivered the lead judgement, explained that the appellant failed to demonstrate the perversity in the concurrent findings of the Bauchi state Governorship Election Tribunal and the Court of Appeal in Jos.
