Bauchi State Governor-Elect Sen. Bala Mohammed on Saturday stated the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in the state will engage the services of 5 Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SANs ) 10 other senior lawyers and 50 indigenous lawyers from Bauchi in defense of his mandate at the Election Petition Tribunal.

The disclosure followed the Petition filed on Saturday by the outgoing Governor, Mohammad Abubakar and the All Progressive Congress in Bauchi State challenging his victory in Court at the last governorship election.

Addressing journalists shortly after the submission of the petition on Saturday at the Tribunal, the APC Chairman Uba Ahmed Nana had said Gov Mohammed Abubakar the gubernatorial candidate of the party at the last election is seeking justice from the Court.

The governor-elect however noted that though his party is yet to be served a copy of the petition, it is readily prepared to tackle Gov Abubakar and the APC in the foreseeable judicial contest.

Addressing newsmen at the Command Guest House in Bauchi while receiving the group known as the Body of Bauchi Lawyers of Conscience who volunteered to mobilise 50 lawyers in his defense, Mohammed said: “The issue of APC taking me to the Tribunal is a normal thing , that is why it is provided in the electoral act.

“I want to use this opportunity to thank my supporters and the people of Bauchi for their show of patience. The petition is nothing to worry about because we have taking necessary measures.

“Though we have not been served, once we are served and we see the details and we are going to respond

“We are also going to engage our lawyers, about five Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, about ten other senior lawyers and 50 Bauchi indigenous lawyers.

“That is to say the APC petition at the Tribunal is dead on arrival due to the support of the Body of Bauchi Lawyers of Conscience (BOBALAC).”

Mohammed, while accepting the offer of BOBOLAC to be part of his legal team, said he is highly privileged to be rendered such services by the lawyers of conscience and quality.

“My legal team has accepted your partnership as your kind gesture shows patriotism,” he said.

He said further that his election is an act from God saying it has come to many as a surprise.

Honorary President of BOBOLAC, Jibrin Sa’id Jibrin, said his team of lawyers is ready to work with the legal team of the governor -elect.

Honestly APC challenging PDP victory in Bauchi is fruitless. I thought the guy said he already accepted defeat.??

Why is Bala Muhammed assembling plenty people like that, or does he want to turn Bauchi state to National Assembly?

This is treason and impersonation... Bala Muhammad must be probed.

The reason why you won that election is because the incumbent gov performed poorly.. And if you do likewise you will he a goner too.. And 50 sans won't be able to save your asss

This is like killing an ant with a sledge Hammer.

Reno Omokri should also join them.

Is it too late to read law?

Who is the lead counsel. Rickey Tarfa?

When you hired 50 sans to defend a case. it is well

How did this guy win?
Bala reeks so much of corruption especially as the FCT minister under Jonathan. This isn't about party sentiments. Something is fundamentally wrong with this Nigeria.

Lawyers de enjoy politicians money. Is it not Bala , the former FCT Minister?

Ok. Fingers crossed.

I remember telling you or another pdp fan that the governor congratulating bala doesnt stop him from suing.its obvious that the governor was rigged out in a grand conspiracy similar to what happened in adamawa.anyway,inec made a big mistake in cancelling already returned results made by the returning officer.the court may upturn the victory.lets wait sha

But some people have really benefited from the nation oo. People with no exceptional capabilities having extraordinary affluence. All made possible by the lopsided nature of our polity.
He will be paying the lawyers million upon millions. He has never been in business, all these stupendous wealth was acquired from a system where poverty rate is over 60%

My brother that is the hopeless system PDP left Nigeria with. May it never be well with every member n supporters of that cursed party.

Why I no study law sef, I for don dey make cool money now. Just to dey talk talk and lie lie inside the courtrom and alert go dey enter sharp sharp

Salaries of political office holders should be looked into, check the history of majority of them, they had nothing before joining politics but after 6 month they've arrived. To hire a senior is not child's play talk more of a SAN.

But the incumbent governor is worst and no other serious candidates at the final, so Bauchi people had no other option.
