The All Progressives Congress in Bauchi State and its governorship candidate in the 2019 election, Mohammed Abubakar, have vowed to go to the Supreme Court to challenge the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate, Bala Mohammed.
Jos Division of Court of Appeal, had dismissed the appeal filed by APC against the governor for lack of merit on Friday last week.
The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Bauchi had, on October 7, dismissed the petition of the APC and its candidate in the election and affirmed Mohammed’s victory.
Dissatisfied with the tribunal’s judgment, the APC approached the appelate court asking it to set aside the lower court’s judgment and declare its candidate as the duly elected governor.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting held at the party’s secretariat on Saturday evening, the state chairman of the party, Uba Nana, promised to seek redress at the apex court.
