Electoral Body, inecnigeria Backtracks, Stands With Monitoring Team Report Confirming Bashir Machina As Original Winner Of Yobe North Senatorial Primary | Sahara Reporters

Electoral Body, INEC Backtracks, Stands With Monitoring Team Report Confirming Bashir Machina As Original Winner Of Yobe North Senatorial PrimaryRather than submit the name of the elected candidate, the name of the senate president was submitted to the commission by the ruling APC.

Machina emerged the winner of the primary election supervised by INEC officials earlier in the year. The senate president did not participate in the primary. To clarify the brewing controversy around the seat, INEC, on at least two different occasions, said it rejected the senate president’s name because he had not been validly nominated for the senatorial seat.Machina had since filed a suit before a Federal High Court, Damaturu to challenge the APC National Working Committee decision.

The affidavit filed by its electoral agency’s lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu discredited Machina's election on the basis that it was conducted by Yobe State officers of the APC and not the National committee of the party as required by the law.

inecnigeria inecnigeria should be firm with who the people's mandate picked.

inecnigeria inecnigeria is really confused on this issue!

inecnigeria If INEC cannot conduct elections, why do they exist.

inecnigeria Inec should better have sense and do the right thing else they won’t be able to bear what would befall them It’s a straight warning against 2023 presidential election

inecnigeria How tables turns... The other day it was Machina that was frowning and Lawan was smiling, today Lawan is frowning and Machina is smiling. I said it that such a broad daylight theft can't happen!

inecnigeria This will be the first step for us to trust INEC.

inecnigeria Ahmed Lawal should go and rest, he can't eat his cake and have it

inecnigeria Hope y’all remember, we still have these two beautiful semi detached duplex available in lekki for N85m pere😁. Dm if interested and please repost so others can see this🥺❤️

inecnigeria We will press INEC nec till May 29, 2023. Nonsense 🤣

inecnigeria At this point this issue has became ping pong, INEC's back and forth every other day on this issue is worrying...

inecnigeria Why is this rubber stamp senator fighting so hard? To continue to destroy Nigeria with debts

inecnigeria Food For Thought: If Inec is so confused about affirming the genuine winner of a senatorial election how will it affirm the genuine winner of a presidential election with the immense pressure that comes with it?

inecnigeria A this rateInec is just a bunch of confused men

inecnigeria I am grateful 🙏 for the rules of law prevail. Buhari is leaving us with adherence to the rules of law.

inecnigeria Na wind Dey blow them?

inecnigeria We are tired of this hide and seek game. We don't trust INEC .

inecnigeria Lawan case was handed over to God for approving all Buhari's borrowing and squandered money.

inecnigeria Sahara reporters just dey use us catch cruise

inecnigeria Confused media's in Nigeria. Tomorrow they will post another thing

inecnigeria Ahmed Lawan is a bonafide criminal full of greed . He has been in the senate for almost 24yrs and counting

inecnigeria INEC dont allow Lawan to truncate our democratic process for the intetest of his pocket.

inecnigeria Victory over fraudulent political giraffe is good

inecnigeria Inec is not being honest on this case they are trying every possible way to take this position from that machina

inecnigeria Confusion upon confusion for INEC. This one is beyond you guys at INEC. Ahmad Lawan is not returning to the Senate in 2023. He has gotten his just dessert. Let Ahmad Lawan return to his village in 2023. However, Bashir Machina should watch his BACK.

inecnigeria Can't the DrAhmadLawan do other jobs apart from nassnigeria ? Did he study National Assembly in d University...Can't he put his experience in a lecture series and earn a living ?

inecnigeria Lawan you need to go rest wo!

inecnigeria The flip flop tells everyone that cares how much pressure the electoral body is under to let the incumbent have his way, despite clear reason that he has lost out.

inecnigeria Woww that's great news!✊

inecnigeria inecnigeria we are watching you closely, ideally this shouldn't have been up for any debate. Always do the needful from inception, 2023 poll must NOT be compromised.

inecnigeria Good news Lawan need to go home

inecnigeria Lawan fought who's bigger than his political promoter and he lost. Goodbye Lawan

inecnigeria Why are they even attempting to rig for a man who has been in senate before I was born. Haba na

inecnigeria inecnigeria no do ojoro for this election. We're watching you keenly. We shall get all monitoring devices to the poling units. Our votes must count.

inecnigeria I hope this doesn't play into the 2023 elections. Obi won, two days later it is BAT won, 1 week after Atiku won.

inecnigeria Lawal should run for counselor in his ward and stop disturbing this man.

inecnigeria I hope it's the final decision this time.

inecnigeria Tinubu had already said he should lick his wound. You can't eat your cake and have it.

inecnigeria The fact that this is even a debate shows how back we are as a so called democratic nation.

inecnigeria The desperation is sickening.

inecnigeria Great 👍
