Supreme Court Upholds Bauchi Gov Abubakar’s Electoral Victory

Nigeria’s Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition
seeking to remove Bauchi State Governor, Mohammed A. Abubakar from
Office.

Abdullahi Tanko Orlando had earlier challenged the outcome of
the 2015 All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial
primaries.

The matter was argued for over two years all the way to the apex
court in the country.

In his ruling, the presiding Judge, Justice Utterle maintained
among other things that one cannot bring pre-election matters after
election.

The judgement of the case ST/854/2015 was delivered in favour of
Barrister Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar.
