The Supreme Court on Monday, affirmed Senate President, Ahmed Lawan as the All Progressive Congress Candidate for the Yobe North Senatorial District after lower courts upheld Bashir Machina as the substantive candidate of the All Progressive Congress.
Recall that Lawan, even though he did not participate in the election initially due to his contest for the APC presidential ticket, wanted Machina to cede the ticket to him after losing the presidential primary to Bola Tinubu.
