Shehu Buba's Candidacy Upheld by Court Ruling in Bauchi
On September 23, 2026, the Federal High Court in Bauchi dismissed a legal suit against Senator Shehu Buba Umar, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) for Bauchi State in the 2027 general elections. The suit, filed by Barrister Idris Gambo, was dismissed as a continuation of a previous case that had been rejected by Justice Hamidu Kunaza at the State High Court No. 2 for lack of merit.
Following the ruling, Shehu Buba expressed gratitude to his legal team, which included Jibrin S. Jibrin, M.
M. Usman, F.
D. Buwala, H.
B. Pali, I.
G. Agwam, and G.
J. Dajot, for their professionalism throughout the litigation process.
He urged PRP members to unite and focus on strengthening the party's structures and mobilizing support ahead of the elections, emphasizing the importance of discipline and grassroots engagement. Buba described the court's decision as a vindication of the PRP's primary election process held in May 2026.
