A pro-APC group, Coalition of Elders for Peace and Good Governance in Bauchi state has appealed to the citizens of the state to remain peaceful, law abiding and respect the decision of the apex court in tomorrow’s verdict between governor Bala Mohammed of the PDP and Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar of the APC.
The Supreme Court has fixed January 20 to deliver judgment in the appeal challenging governor Bala’s victory during the 2019 governorship election.
The inconsistency on the actual date of judgement between governor Mohammed and Abdullahi Abubakar continue to generate divergent reactions in Bauchi
Many pro PDP groups who addressed members of the press yesterday fear justice may not be done to the incumbent governor, Bala Mohammed.
Reacting on the state of affairs in the state, the pro APC group which expresses confidence in the country’s apex court said “as Bauchi state citizens, ours use to be a decent state, a state where its people are law abiding and tolerant to one another”, calling on the people of the state to remain calm and peaceful.
Speaking to newsmen in Bauchi Alhaji Hassan Mohammed Sharif, Sarkin Arewan Bauchi said as elders in the state, they strongly believe that the Supreme Court will do justice between Mohammed Abdullahi of the APC and Bala Mohammed of the PDP.
“We believe in the supremacy of the court and whatever is the outcome, we are ready to accept it in good faith.
“We equally believe that our Principal, Mohammed Abdullahi of the APC won the election and the apex court will affirm his victory.
“As elders, we foresee danger in crisis, and we would not like a situation where the generations of our unborn children suffer because of the inaction of some unscrupulous elements within our midst”, the group added.
