Appeal Court affirms PDP’s Abdul Ningi as Bauchi Central Senator

The Court of Appeal on Friday, upheld the declaration of Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi as the Senator representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Uba Ahmed Nana, who came second in the elections as declared by INEC.

Uba Ahmed Nana having lost the election, went to the NASS Elections Petition Tribunal but lost the petition. Dissatisfied with the ruling, the APC candidate proceeded to the Court of Appeal which also affirmed the Tribunal ruling by dismissing the appeal.

Reacting to the judgement, Abdul Ahmad Ningi, while addressing his supporters, said the outcome was a clear reflection of the will of people of the Central Senatorial District for better and competence representation. 

He assured that he will not let them down as he will ensure that he brings development to the area which he said has been left behind in all ramifications of development.

Abdul Ahmad Ningi then called on his opponent to put politics behind for now and join hands with him for the development of the area because according to him, collective measure is what is needed now. 

He particularly called on Uba Ahmad Nana to come and join hands with him in moving the Senatorial District forward just as he called for continued prayers and support from all to enable him succeed in the tasks ahead.
