The Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed, has said he did not sleep for seven days while battling to ensure his victory in the March 18, 2023 governorship election was not upturned at the Supreme Court.
He said he was in Abuja throughout the days to prevent some “former leaders of Bauchi” from snatching his electoral victory through the courts.
Mohammed spoke at the Government House in Bauchi during a victory rally organised for him on Saturday.
The governor thanked President Bola Tinubu for not listening to those who wanted to pitch them against each other.
“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 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,” the governor said.
