2023: INEC rejects Lawan, insists Machina won Yobe north APC ticket

The electoral body also disassociated itself from the emergence of Senate President Ahmed Lawan as the party’s candidate for the senatorial district.

The APC had earlier uploaded Lawan’s name on the INEC portal as the party’s senatorial candidate for the Yobe Zone C. Although it was obvious that the Senate President did not take part in the party’s primary which produced Machina, powers that be in the constituency found a way to sneak his name into the INEC portal.

Lawan was reported to be chasing his dreams of becoming Nigerian president during the senatorial primary election, a race he lost to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It, however, came as a shock to many Nigerians when the name of the authentic winner of the primaries was substituted for that of Lawan who did not participate in the election.

People like Lawal; should go! Please. If not very soon politician would turn political offices to traditional rules/tittles

Congratulations to Basir.

Way to Go

Lawan! Ile ya 😅

Wahala b like bicycle...after you've spent your 100m, you still want to grap ticket for Senate,....to go & do what pls! Mr robber stamp Senate president ur people don't need you anymore, pls fo home & rejoin ur family for the need you more than you want to be what I don't know.

That was good decision from INEC against the selfish Senate president.
