He said: “I want to believe that the judicial system of Nigeria is reliable, and I am sure that at the end of the day, we’ll get back our mandate. Once we retrieve the mandate, we promise the people what we will do immediately.
“I want to thank, most sincerely, members of the APC in Bauchi State for their patience and understanding, considering what happened after the election.
