Bauchi State Governor, Sen. Bala Mohammed, has expressed confidence that he will still win at the Supreme Court.
The Governor expressed optimism that the Apex Court would deliver judgement in the appeal by the APC gubernatorial candidate, Saddique Abubakar, in his favour.
Bala Mohammed, who gave the indication while interacting with journalists shortly after the Supreme Court session held in Abuja on Thursday, called on his supporters to remain calm and law-abiding while waiting for the date of judgement.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has reserved judgement in the case between the defeated gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Air Marshal Sadeeq Baba Abubakar (rtd), and the incumbent governor, Sen. Bala Mohammed.
Sadeeq Abubakar and his party are demanding that the Apex Court set aside the recent judgement by the Appeal Court, which upheld the election of Bala Mohammed, and declare him the winner of the election.
While presenting his brief during the Court’s sitting, Leading Counsel to the APC and Its Candidate argued that the appellate court overlooked some fundamental issues raised by his client, including alleged noncompliance with the electoral act in the election processes
On his part, lead counsel to the respondents, Mr Chris Uche SAN, urged the Apex Court to uphold the appellate court’s decision, arguing that the verdict was in line with sections 148 and 135 of the electoral act.
After listening to the submissions of the counsels, the 5-man panel led by Justice John Inyang Okoro said that a date for the judgement would be communicated to all the parties involved in due course.
