POLITICS NIGERIA reports that a three-member panel of the appellate court led by Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem upheld the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Damaturu, Yobe State which held that the President of the senate Ahmad Lawan, is not the APC candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District in respect of the 2023 election.
The court had submitted that Lawan did not participate in the legally-recognised primary election of the APC to select its candidate in the election held in May 2022. Recall that while Lawan, picked the presidential form of the APC and participated in the primary election that was won by former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, Machina contested and won his bid to take over as the candidate of the party for the senatorial contest.
Following his defeat at the presidential primary election, Lawan, allegedly backed by APC heavyweights, asked Machina to relinquish the senatorial ticket to him, a request the latter sternly refused.

BREAKING: Nigerian Appeal Court Fixes Date For Judgement In APC's Suit Seeking To Replace Machina With Senate President Lawan | Sahara ReportersThe Court of Appeal in Abuja has fixed Monday, November 28 for judgement in an appeal filed by the ruling All Progressives Congress, challenging the decision of the lower court which declared Bashir Machina as the rightful senatorial candidate of the APC for Yobe North. The court had reserved its judgment after the counsel for the parties made their closing arguments on November 11. The appellate court would determine the authentic senatorial candidate of the APC for Yobe North between Machina and Senate President Ahmad Lawan on Monday. I know Lawan is still fighting that man , but he Hinds under APC body. Very bad.
