The Abuja court of appeal has affirmed Bashir Machina as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the Yobe North senatorial district.Machina, during the primary election organised by the party in May 2022, had won unopposed.
But Ahmed Lawan, senate president, was said to have participated in another primary election organised by the APC after he contested the party’s presidential ticket and lost in June.Machina was reportedly asked to step down for Lawan but he insisted that he would not withdraw for the senate president.
Amid the controversy, the APC submitted the senate president’s name to INEC as its senatorial candidate for Yobe north.Aggrieved, Machina instituted a suit asking the court to declare him as the authentic senatorial candidate of the APC for the 2023 election. In September, a federal high court in Damaturu, the Yobe capital, ordered the APC and INEC to recognise Machina as the senatorial candidate for the district.
OfficialAPCNg Wow, God is Great
OfficialAPCNg Justice is served. Victory to Democrazy
OfficialAPCNg A loud congratulations to Machina. So happy 4 the young man
OfficialAPCNg Lawan that position is not an inheritance so please respect yourself and go and rest. Congratulations Machina
OfficialAPCNg Now that we have sent DrAhmadLawan packing, hope we are ready to send other corrupt public office holders packing ? Let's send them to their homes before they kill us finish with hunger and sufferings
OfficialAPCNg Like Akpabio, Lawan will go to Supreme Court; but they'll both lose. It's time up for impunity.
OfficialAPCNg Remaining supreme court
OfficialAPCNg OfficialAPCNg should just rest tho matter already. It makes them look bad
OfficialAPCNg Hope this effectively closes the case Ahmed Lawan will never smell that seat again
