ABUJA, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has been confirmed as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senatorial Candidate in Yobe State.
This affirmation was made by the Supreme Court, on Monday, in a judgment which ruled out Bashir Machina as the party’s flagbearer in Yobe North.
Voiceofnaija.ng gathered that in a majority judgment on Monday, Nigeria’s apex court allowed the appeal filed by the APC against Senator Lawan’s opponent in the party.
With this recent development, Machina will not be able to contest the election slated for Saturday, 25 February, 2023, alongside the Presidential poll.
Observers will be awaiting the ousted candidate’s reaction to the recent development, having gone through court processes to arrive at the recent ‘destination’.
