The governor of Bauchi state, Mohammed Abubakar, has said that he will use legal means to challenge the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission , on its position to regenerate and count the votes from Tafawa Balewa local government in the March 9 governorship election.
However, INEC in a statement signed by Festus Okoye, its commissioner in charge of Media and Publicity, said the commission, having considered a report sent by the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Bauchi State, decided to further investigate the cancellation of the result from Tafawa Balewa Local Government of the state.
After he merged from the president, the Bauchi governor granted journalists a short interview; Excerpt:I came to brief Mr. President about the situation in my state. 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.
So, for that reason there is a need for me to come and brief Mr. President because of what has the potential of touching on the security of the state.Of course it is definitely extra illegal. It is a straight forward matter. The returning officer is the final arbiter even with respect to scores and declaration of result. And once he makes a declaration, no power can reverse that declaration except duly constituted court of the land.
Let him go to court
He should call the winner nah
Yes he paid 1b and yakubu is saying Ngbati Ngbati..
What is he meeting Buhari for if not to rig election for him same way they rigged for Buhari. He should sit his ass down in state and challenge Inec..
