There is still uncertainty on the fate of Bashir Machina, the Yobe North Senatorial Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, despite Senate President Ahmad Lawan’s concession of defeat and vowing not to appeal the judgment.
The Yobe State chapter of the APC, in a statement on Friday by its Chairman, Mohammed Gadaka, insisted that the Senate President remains the bona fide candidate for the district.
“We respectfully reject the decision of the President of the Senate, His Excellency Senator Ahmad Lawan, accepting the judgment of the court which disqualified his candidature and participation in the election.”, the statement partly read.
It will be recalled that Senator Ahmad Lawan has yesterday said, he accepts the judgement of the court disqualifying his candidacy.
