Former governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar has decided to take the battle of reclaiming his alleged stolen mandate to the highest court in the land, Supreme Court, to challenge the victory of the incumbent, Bala Mohammed.
It would be recalled that Bala Mohammed while reacting to the verdict of the Court of Appeal that upheld his victory on Friday, called on his predecessor to join him in rebuilding Bauchi State.
The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and the former governor have turned down the offer, saying they will seek redress at the apex court.
State chairman of the party, Uba Nana made the revelation during a stakeholders’ meeting held at the party’s secretariat in Bauchi.
“The judgement has been passed yesterday, we have received it. We are studying it and we are taking the next line of action.
“So, we will be heading to the supreme court. “The case will terminate at the supreme court by the special grace of God”, he said.
Uba Nana who said the stakeholders’ meeting was intended to rub minds on the outcome of the Appeal Court’s judgement said the party would move ahead despite the setback.
“It is a normal meeting that we used to have to meet one another and look at the ways and means of strengthening the APC in Bauchi State.
“It is just to strengthen our movement and keep in touch with our teeming supporters. “We cannot afford to lose contact with our teeming supporters”, he stated.
Audu Sule Katagum, the immediate deputy governor of the state who was also in attendance during the meeting said the APC is still strong and formidable in the state, adding that majority of members of the state Assembly, House of Representatives and all the three senators are members of the party.
