In a decisive ruling, the Bauchi State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has upheld the electoral victory of Governor Bala Mohammed, representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the gubernatorial election that took place on March 18th.
The tribunal unequivocally dismissed the petition that had been lodged by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its gubernatorial candidate, the former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.
The three-member panel, presided over by Justice P.T Kwahar, delivered the judgment, affirming that there were no substantial grounds to annul the election, given that it had been conducted in strict adherence to the legal framework.
