The supreme court has affirmed Ahmed Lawan, senate president, 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.
Bashir Machina has refused to step down for Lawan after he lost out at the Presidential primary of APC in 2022.
Governor David Umahi and Godswill Akpabio had earlier won similar cases at the Supreme Court despite contesting in the Presidential Primary of APC.
