Bauchi: I’ll reclaim my mandate from Bulkachuwa – Mustapha

The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) candidate for Bauchi North senatorial district in the February 23 election, Faruk Mustapha, has expressed optimism that he would reclaim his mandate Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa.

The candidate, who expressed confidence in Nigeria’s judicial system, alleged that current representative of the district, Senator Bulkachuwa, had ‘stole’ his mandate.

Speaking in Bauchi Thursday, Mustapha said he has presented a total number of 745 exhibits before the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal against the victory of Senator Bulkachuwa of the APC, and added that his party has also challenged Bulkachuwa’s victory at the tribunal.

According to him, the exhibits comprised mainly result sheets from polling units and wards across the 7 local government areas of Bauchi North senatorial district.

“I have confidence in the judiciary, most especially, under the leadership of Justice Tanko Muhammad. I also believe that the tribunal that is handling my case have men and women of integrity, whom I absolutely have confidence in. I believe they will do justice to the case.

“I believe that God is the giver and taker of power. Insha Allah, I will win my case against Bulkachuwa. People have said that he is well-positioned and connected in society, but I know that God is the ultimate, who decides who gets what”, he said.
