Supreme Court affirms Bala Mohammed's election as Bauchi governor

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sadique Abubakar, had alleged massive non-compliance with the Electoral Act during the election.

Abubakar had challenged Mohammed’s election in the two lower courts.

In a judgment on Friday, January 12, 2024, the apex court held that the APC candidate and his party failed to prove their case.
