Embattled Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, is set to file an appeal at the higher court to challenge the decision of the court which declared Bashir Machina as the authentic All Progressives Congress senatorial candidate of Yobe North, SaharaReporters has learnt. Lawan had issued a statement after the initial court ruling which declared his purported June 9 senatorial primary election null and void, saying he had accepted the court verdict and would not appeal the decision of the court.

EXCLUSIVE: Senate President, Lawan Makes U-Turn, Set To Appeal Judgement Declaring Machina As APC Yobe North CandidateLawan may succumb to pressures from some individuals within Yobe State Governor, Mala Buni's government to appeal the judgement.

But in a dramatic twist of event, Lawan may succumb to pressures from some individuals within Yobe State Governor, Mala Buni's government to appeal the judgement even though many lawyers opined that his appeal was a waste of time. “The anti-Machina group headed by the Chief of Staff to the governor who also headed the voided June 9 senatorial primary poll is shopping for another lawyer to file the appeal as they are not satisfied with the performance of Ahmad Raji at the Federal High Court,” the source revealed.Machina won the primary election organised by the party in May 2022.

Amid the controversy, the APC submitted the Senate President’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission as its senatorial candidate for Yobe North.

Someone that has been in Senate for closely 24 years is still seeking to return

Lawan want to turn that seat into his father property.

He's confused. Life without him being in the National Assembly is no life.

He wants cover to be able to run away from his sins.

They are the law maker and they are also the law breakers

He didn't run, didn't even buy form 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who the gods wants to kill,he makes him mad first

Yeeaaa ! That place is their birth right ,no citizens from his state deserved the seat ,let him show his state what he had done to make him deserve second tenure

There is no honour amongst thieves DrAhmadLawan you lack honour and it is disgraceful that you hold an important position as a senate president in Nigeria.

Greed

Lawan is the example of greedy men we have in Nigerian Gov today

Hmm.... Nigerian politicians 🤔 Do u people fear God at all?

Lawan, you are not the first senate president this is happening to. Accept the out come of the election in good fate and stop embarrassing yourself. It's crystal clear that your constituency doesn't want you again.

Yes na , money dey, but remember, the truth will always prevails in the end.

He should rest

Just took greedy

After seeing what Appeal Court did to ASUU! Why your body no go move you?

Not a stateman

What else do u expect! Jobless politicians outside politics they are useless! Tinubu want him back because of loans approval

Nigerian politicians especially the fulani politicians are very cunning. I knew something of this nature is cooking

Shameless useless rubberstamp...dnt go nd rest. Nass is ur inheritance abi

Go nd rest lawan. Senate is nt ur personal heritage. Allow machina to represent yobe north yhis time around

He should go and relax , your time is up

Did he forget any of his belongings that he is do despret to return to senate? He is useless an valueless to return to the chamber.

How could Lawal fight a loss battle? An election that he did not participate on? What is wrong with these people? Is Senate his private company?

We lack self esteem respect, who did this to us? haba! What you knew deep down in your heart that you cannot eat your cake & has it, what types of human are political elites in Nigeria, are saying that without been elected they cannot survive

So shameful, there is nothing like decency or morality in Nigeria polithievians. But wotowoto is loading.

Wawooo 23 years of nothingness

I’m not suprice, Africa man and power.. you have been in the senate since 1999, I wonder waiten you still Dey fine dey waka for that Sentra house oooo

A very difficult and dangerous method of 2in1

He couldn't sleep the thought that he will not be stamping for hii.... When the members shouted nay its still hunting the bastard let him appeal Nigerians are watching! He must retire by force.

Lol..After he's long speech . Tiffs

I think Lawan is just been greedy and selfish. If not for the kind of government that is in power now, everyone knows he didn’t participate in the primary talk more of winning. What does he want again in the senate?

Northerners are power-drunks. I lived there. All they think and scheme is how to grab power. I was surprised when I read he has moved on.

Mr lawan go and look for work!

Na by force to rule? 🤔

This man won't just go away. That rubberstamp Senate president seat must have been sweet.

He for remain there

He has given it a serious thought to the jumbo pays and largess he will be missing.

He will lule again.

Shameless

Mission doomed to fail. Treacherous Lawan is getting it wrong again.

Bunch of idle clowns 🤦🏻‍♀️

Day after Buhari presented 2023 budget, he doesn't want to miss out on this massive national cake.

Some in zoo contraption still think like in stone age. It can never function.

You will lule with shame last last. Your presidential candidate lule will be most resounding worldwide with international shame

This man! 🤦‍♂️

Wonders shall never end.

He that keeps his word, is a man of honour. I wonder why we refer to some persons as honourable

Fear of been Invisible!

He has been known for his inconsistencies. After promising BAT of his support but later went ahead to contest. As he failed in the primary he will also 'lule' wherever he challenges INEC decisions.

Baba don collect advice. He'll still lose even at the Supreme Court.

Sir please move straight to labour party ♥️

After we don congratulate machina. Haba baba lawal rest make another person come senate

See as this man de ru brandish selfishness... These are the kind of people we want out of public offices. Lawan, it’s not your birth right.

sapa na your mate

Let's see what comes out of this

Shay they said he picked presidential form instead of senate...where is the case na ?

Mr Lawan just realized how much of a non issue he would become as soon as he loses his seat

inecnigeria is it not an offence for a candidate to simultaneously partake in two elective positions? Why are you delaying in prosecuting Akpabio, Tambuwal and Lawan?

This man no be juju be that.

This man DrAhmadLawan is a devil oooo. An empty barrel with dubious character. If you like pay more more to charge and bail judges, you will never come back to the senate chamber again. Criminal

To just abadicate power is not easy.The Senate president should take it easy because power is fluid.

He will still lose again

The APC cabal wanted to install him as President oh. My God.

The thought of being a second class citizen without political class made him want to fight further😂😂😂

He will loose again and again! He will spend all he has stolen for d case

No more honor in the land. What a shame that these politicians keep going back to their vomit.

Trying to steal what does not belong to him! Nigeria we hail thee!

What kind shameless men do we have as politicians in this country?

Haba Lawan, you wan collect too? Remember ASUU oo!

You see why African leaders are so greedy for power, he have been there for 23 years They keep saying the youth are the leaders of tomorrow but yet none of them wants to retire His regime as a senate president finished our economy

Hello everyone I make and sell footwear your RT n patronage will go a long way for my brand whatsapp no:08090916669

Normal, the Supreme Court judge suppose jail him for fighting for the election he never contested

Lol this man is scared of joblessness

E be like someone don get assurances....morale don high

As if it's his inheritance

Is it easy to forfeit such selfish life?

If this is true then I would be terribly disappointed in him. I had always rated Lawan more intelligent than this.

APC THIEF

This elephant nor dey rest?

Lol greed will not let this man rest

Nigerian political class + no shame

Lol we predicted this then,these looters can't do without free money that they get over there

Power does not satisfy him. His tenure as the Senate president was a total fiasco.

Sahara can report only cabbage 🤦🤦

..unstable in all his ways!

Hope you're telling us what is legite oooo, because I no trust you again ooo. You Sabi telling us fake news. You recently tell us lies about Ex Army chief Lt Gen. Tukur Buratai about acquiring illegal properties.

DrAhmadLawan Please be done and stay done! It's enough. Good riddance.

You working to get disgrace.

Hey fat man, leave this man and his ticket alone

How many years now he has been in the senate. No life outside politics. Tueh

No single integrity left in any APC politician. How can people be forcing themselves into leadership by force after winning the worst senate president since inception of democracy

Too greedy to yield defeat, that’s APC mantra. Let’s brace up for 2023 these losers are dangerous.

PeterObiForPresident2023 PeterObiForPresident2023 PeterObiForPresident2023 PeterObiForPresident2023

Seriously lawan? What more could you have possibly be expecting from God now, mr lawan Except to me disgraced, humiliate and condemn publicly? FG had taken care of you since you become adult till you got your 3-4 wives and your children up until now, yet you are ungrateful rascal

When Politics becomes as an avenue to loot rather than serve, humans get opened up for all sorts of vices just to gain an entry. No wonder a dying drug Lord is still using the last of his breath trying to get in instead of resting and enjoying his retirement.

O boi this man cannot imagine life outside free bills payment. Power sweet o

He just can't let go of this free money, he wakes up at night sweating when he remembers he is not getting this loot anymore

Clown

Is there no foreign account where Lawan kept some stolen money? I wish him something that would occupy his time like Nnamani Chimaroke....

May God deliver Nigeria from Nigerians

Please, is Senate his birth right..? Or inheritance.. Can't he go and do other things after 20+ years in the hallowed Chambers..?

This should be after proper consultation with ppl that can turn white to yellow.

Leaders should be consistent with their words.

Coup 'd eta through ballot box Nigeria continue to deceiving themselves as democracy country.

His confusion is confused

Desperate lots, these folks are polluting our political space

This man is desperate, he can't do without the Senatorial seat.

If machina thought he can easily unseat a sitting senate president by clinching the APC ticket like picnic, then he has another thought coming.

Die-hard 'politrickcian'

APC is a cancer

Cabal don give am go ahead

Judgement buying is brewing

See desperation

What do you expect? These are men without honour! There words mean nothing!

Someone that was declared APC presidential candidate now fighting for position he didn't vye for. No be juju be that

It appears our worst Senate President is very scared of redundancy….. Lawan, abeg REST! You have lost this one! Deal with it.

What is he doing for 23 years. Greed should end this man already

His only means of livery wood with be taken from him. What you you expect…

Greed bastard

Lawan na hypocrite

Why is this guy scared to face the citizens he wants to be protected by the government one way or the other

If una no do politics una go die ? Oga rest make another person go thief. If you forget your destiny for senate you go tell us.

This is what you get when your politicians have no life outside politics. They have no way to create wealth or contribute to society. Politics is their only shot at being relevant or earning an income. Vote PeterObiForPresident2023, & start retiring life-long politicians.

I knew he was lying from his first acceptance of the judgment, he incited the party to say they will appeal, the man is too selfish and greedy worst still he is unproductive!

Lol, the gods are yet to create he who doesn't like absolute power 🚶🚶🚶😂😂😂

They must have promised him that the appeal court judges will cooperate with his wishes🤡greedy clown😂😂🤣

They ll do the normal bribe

I don't need to read to know that this is fake news.

This one no dey tire

What is wrong with this Lawan of a man?

He talked about privatization of Nigeria Air- months later, they privatized Nigeria Air He talked about the massive oil theft - a secret pipeline was discovered He talked about their 7+yrs ineffectual Power Plan. 3 months later, super transformers landed. The Peter Obi effect!
