The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has disclosed that he could not sleep for seven days before the Supreme Court ruled on the disputed March 18, 2023 governorship election in the state.
The Eagle Online recalls the Supreme Court delivered ruling on Friday in eight disputed governorship elections.
All those declared winners by the Independent National Electoral Commission retained their seats.
For Mohammed, he said for seven days before the judgment, he was in Abuja fighting to prevent “former leaders” of the state from snatching his victory.
Speaking at the Government House in Bauchi during a victory rally organised for him, he said: “You (people of Bauchi) have shown me love.
“You gave me trust and I will not sleep because I did not sleep for seven days and I made sure that we have this mandate back.
“Some people connived – former leaders of Bauchi – to go and perpetuate lies against me to make sure that the leadership of the nation see me as a problem, but you can see the leaders have their ways of handling issues.
“I’m grateful to the Nigerian judiciary, especially the Supreme Court.
“I’m grateful to the government of President Bola Tinubu who believes in good governance, allowing the rule of law to persist irrespective of the lies and mischievous acts that have been perpetrated against me.
“I’m grateful to the Vice President and all our colleagues at the federal level.
