Appeal Court Verdict: Bauchi Speaker Congratulates Gov Bala

Speaker of Bauchi State House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Abubakar Y Suleiman has congratulated the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed for emerging victorious in the verdict delivered by the Court of Appeal in Abuja which affirmed the judgement of the Election Tribunal and upheld his election as the validly elected Governor of Bauchi State.

The Speaker who is thrilled about the judgement said that although the outcome of the appeal didn’t come to him as a surprise, knowing fully that the Governor has indeed legitimately won his election and judiciary would always give justice to whom justice is due, he is excited because the sacred mandate given to the Governor by the good people of Bauchi State is further secured.

A statement by his media aide, Mr Abdul Ahmad Burra, said that Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammad is a true leader and servant of the people whose progressive mind and versatility in politics and governance gave him uncommon strength beyond the reach of the oppositions no matter their antics.

Rt. Hon. Abubakar Y Suleiman also congratulated the Deputy Governor His Excellency Rt. Hon. Auwal Muhammad Jatau, people of Bauchi State, members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and all supporters and well wishers of the Governor across the Country.

He commended the legal team of PDP and the Governor for their professionalism and experience in seeing the Governor and the Party through the legal challenge.

The Speaker called on the opposition to put the interest of the State first, shelve any idea of further legal challenge that would end in futility, join hands with the Governor in his Bauchi Development Agenda and wait for 2027 to try their luck.

While expressing gratitude to Almighty Allah for His uncountable blessings to Governor Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad, his political co-travellers and Bauchi State in general.

He prayed that Allah will sustain the Governor in good health and wisdom to continue serving Him and humanity.
