The Governor, however, praised President Bola Tinubu for disregarding the opinions of the former leaders who conspired against him and appreciated the judiciary for being fair.

Governor Mohammed spoke at the Government House during a victory rally organised for him, following the Supreme Court victory on Friday and praised the people of Bauchi for their support.

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 Tinubu who believe 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. No amount of mischief will bring us down.”

The Governor vowed that he would not allow anybody with ulterior motives from nowhere to lead the state.
