The supreme court has affirmed the election of Bala Mohammed as governor of Bauchi state.
A five-member panel of the apex court dismissed the appeal filed by Sadique Abubakar, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 2023 election.
The court corroborated the findings of the court of appeal, which affirmed the election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, and dismissed Abubakar’s appeal for being “devoid of merit”.
