Senator Bala Abdulkadir Muhammed is the Governor of Bauchi State is no longer news. What made his new title newsworthy is how he came about it. He was elected by the good people of Bauchi State during the March 9,2019 general election. The validity of his pronouncement as governor, however, was in doubt to those that lost the election . Through two stages of court, pronouncements vindicated his claim and the mandate confirmed, but the ultimate and most important validation of the Supreme Court was needed. That waiting period was a very tensed one giving the kind of pronouncement, both shocking and expected, coming from the justices of the highest court of the land. Muhammed was eventually declared as the duly elected governor of Bauchi State.
