Affirms Lawan As Yobe APC Senatorial Candidate


The supreme court has affirmed Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Yobe north.


In a majority judgment delivered on Monday, the apex court allowed the appeal filed by the APC against Bashir Machina’s candidature.

Delivering the judgment, three out of a five-member panel agreed with the position of the APC that the suit at the trial court ought not to have commenced via an originating summons since it contained allegations of fraud.


“The bedrock of the suit shows that there were allegations of fraudulent practices against the appellants,” Centus Nweze said.
