Breaking: Court dismisses suit stopping collation of Bauchi Gov election results vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The court, in a judgment that was delivered by Justice Iyang Ekwo, dismissed the suit the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its candidate, Mohammed Abubakar, who is the incumbent Governor of the state, lodged to stop further collation of results by INEC.
They prayed the court to compel the electoral body to go ahead with the supplementary election which was earlier billed for March 23. The electoral body equally queried the jurisdiction of the court to handle the matter it said ought to have been ventilated before the election petition tribunal. The commission insisted that since it had resolved to collate the already garnered results, “only Election Petition Tribunal has the jurisdiction to review the decision”.
