The Supreme Court has affirmed Bala Mohammed of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)as the Governor of Bauchi State.
The Court dismissed the appeal by Sadique Abubakar from the All Progressives Congress (APC) for lacking merit, upholding the decision of the Court of Appeal.
On November 2023, the Court of Appeal affirmed the decision of the tribunal affirming Bala as the Governor of Bauchi State.
The appellant appealed to the Court of Appeal but lost, and subsequently filed an appeal at the Supreme Court to challenge the lower court’s decision. Supreme Court upholds Lawal’s victory as Zamfara gov. The Supreme Court has upheld the election of Dauda Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party as Zamfara State Governor.
The apex court set aside the decision of the court of appeal declaring the governorship election in Zamafara State inconclusive.
The tribunal had dismissed the petition of the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Bello Matawalle, challenging the victory of Dauda Lawal of the PDP.
But at the appeal court, the court declared the election in the state inclusive and ordered a rerun in three local government areas which are Maradun, Birnin-Magaji, and Bukkuyum.
The court held that it was wrong for the Independent National Electoral Commission to adopt results from the IReV to declare the winner in the affected LGA, adding that “IReV is not part of the collation system but for viewing purposes.”(@NaijaAnchorNews )
