Bauchi Gov Secures Buhari's Backing to Challenge Cancellation of Rerun Polls in Court - THISDAYLIVE

The Bauchi State Governor Mohammed Abubakar Monday in Abuja secured the backing of President Muhammadu Buhari to challenge the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to resume the collation of the March 9 governorship election results in the court, describing it as illegal.

However, while the affected candidates from both the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party were warming up for the rerun polls, INEC changed its mind on Bauchi and ordered the resumption of collation of results earlier suspended in Tafawa Balewa Local Government by the commission. “I am a lawyer and I am pursuing the legal angle. I briefed him and he emphasised on that legal angle that it is the best way to go,” he said.

“I briefed him on the issues surrounding the inconclusive elections. The returning officer for Bauchi State at the end of collation, rejected the result of Tafawa Balewa Local Government and then 36 other units spread around 15 local governments of Bauchi State and ordered a rerun.

Bauchi sai kauran Bauchi..

You will fail

Does the governor need Mr. President's backing before going to court? This is sensational

So Buhari will give you go ahead order before you go to court bcos they have control the judiciary

What a headline.

If you like challenged it to heavy, PDP is winning Bauchi. INEC have lawyers, and the political opponent the wounded lion always have capable lawyers. Your thugs stole the result, and INEC decided to use the duplicate. What is wrong in that..

rubbish everywhere you turn.senator elect's want Buhari to chose their next president, governors are seeking Buhari backing for a re- run.INEC are seeking approval from Buhari before election is concluded. are we a civilise people?
