A Federal High Court sitting in Damaturu has ordered the All Progressives Congress (APC) to submit the name of Bashir Shariff Machina as the authentic candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District after affirming the 28th May 2022 primary election conducted by the party.

Justice Fadimatu Murtala, in a judgement delivered today in Damaturu, also nullified the parallel primary election of 9th June 2022 that produced President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan.

Counsel to the second dependant Kolawale Balogun told newsmen that his client would be appropriately advised on the next move.

seunmsg:
Ahmed Lawan should give up and stop fighting. He lost his senate seat the day he took the decision to contest for president without planting a stooge to pick and keep the senate ticket for him. After 24 years in the National Assembly, I think he has done his best for the country and his constituency. He should accept the judgement as n good faith and support Bashir Machina.

Coldie:
