The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Bauchi State has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Bauchi, challenging Senator Shehu Buba Umar’s eligibility to contest the 2027 governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
Barrister Benjamin Sati, counsel to the APM, disclosed this to journalists at the court premises on Monday, October 19, 2026.
According to Sati, the party is challenging the recognition of Senator Shehu Buba as a governorship candidate, alleging that his candidacy contravenes a court order and provisions of the Electoral Act.
The allegations are yet to be determined by the court. The legal proceedings will provide an opportunity for the parties involved to present their arguments and supporting evidence for judicial consideration.
The outcome of the case could have implications for Senator Shehu Buba’s bid to contest the Bauchi State governorship election in 2027, depending on the court’s findings and decision.
