SENATE PRESIDENT LAWAN SAYS NO PLANS TO APPEAL COURT JUDGMENT DISQUALIFYING HIM AS APC SENATORIAL CANDIDATE

The President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan has said that he has no plans to appeal the judgment delivered by the Federal High Court, Damaturu, in Yobe State with regard to next year’s Yobe North Senatorial district election.

In a statement by his Special Adviser, Media, Ola Awoniyi, the President of the Senate said that he had earlier written immediately after the ruling that he had accepted the judgment of the court which disqualified his candidature and participation in the election.

Justice Fadima Aminu at a Damaturu Federal High Court had sacked the President of the Senate, ordering the All Progressives Congress, APC to forward the name of Bashir Sheriff Machina to the Independent National Electoral Commission as the authentic winner of the primary, which was held on the 28 of May 2022.
