    In a decisive ruling on Friday, the Supreme Court of Nigeria upheld the election victory of Sen Bala Mohammed as the duly elected Governor of Bauchi State, representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The court dismissed the appeal brought by the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Amb Saddique Baba Abubakar, who had previously lost his challenge at the Tribunal and Court of Appeal.

    With this final decision from the Supreme Court, Governor Bala Mohammed is now free to focus on the responsibilities of governance effectively and efficiently for the next four years.

    Responding to the judgment, Bauchi State Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Mohammed Auwal Jatau, expressed satisfaction with the triumph at the Supreme Court against the APC and its gubernatorial candidate, Retired Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar. He congratulated Governor Bala Mohammed, characterizing the victory as a testament to the administration’s indomitable spirit and tireless efforts in transforming Bauchi state into a model of development and inclusive governance.

    Jatau emphasized the significance of the Supreme Court’s ruling, stating, “With this ruling, the Supreme Court has affirmed its position as the ultimate arbiter of truth, fairness, and the rule of law. Our faith in the judiciary has been further strengthened, as they have boldly upheld the collective will of the people, safeguarding the integrity of our electoral process.”

    He concluded by commending the justices for their unwavering dedication to justice and the preservation of democratic values.
