After affirming the party’s 28 May 2022 primary election, a Federal High Court in Damaturu ordered the All Progressives Congress (APC) to submit Bashir Shariff Machina’s name as the legitimate candidate for the Yobe North Senatorial District.
In a judgement issued today in Damaturu, Justice Fadimatu Murtala also ruled that the parallel primary election held on June 9, 2022, which resulted in Ahmed Lawan becoming president of the Senate, was invalid.
Kolawale Balogun, the second dependent’s counsel, assured reporters that his client would receive suitable advice regarding the next step.
