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.
