The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has expressed his satisfaction with the Court of Appeal judgment which upheld his election victory, reaffirming confidence in his commitment to delivering democratic dividends to the citizens.
In a statement on his verified social media account, Governor Mohammed remarked, “It is a testament to my unwavering dedication to delivering the dividends of democracy to our citizens.”
An ecstatic Mohammed urged opposition parties in the state to unite and throw their weight behind the #NewBauchiProject, a movement aimed at revitalizing Bauchi State.
“I, therefore, call upon the opposition parties within our state to unite and support the #NewBauchiProject, an initiative committed to the rejuvenation of Bauchi State,” the governor urged.
Expressing gratitude, the governor extended appreciation to the Bauchi State Peoples Democratic Party leadership and his supporters.
“This victory belongs to all of us, and I promise to lead with the excellence you rightly anticipate.
“Let’s together script a new era for Bauchi State, defined by progress, marked by progress, unity, and prosperity,” Governor Mohammed concluded.
Daily Post reported that the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, affirmed the victory of Mohammed as the Governor of Bauchi on Friday.
Following the declaration of Mohammed as the winner of the gubernatorial election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Sadique Abubakar, contested the result at the governorship election petition tribunal.
However, the tribunal upheld Mohammed’s victory, leading Abubakar to file an appeal at the Court of Appeal, challenging the decision of the lower court.
