But the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Sadique Abubakar rejected the outcome of the election and sought redress in the court.

 

The Bauchi State Governorship Election Tribunal had dismissed the APC candidate’s petition, upholding the election of Bala.

 

But Sadique dragged the matter to the appeal court, insisting that the March 18 poll was marred by irregularities.

 

However, ruling on the matter on Friday, the panel of three justices, who were unanimous, upheld the verdict of the tribunal.
