2023: APC to appeal court ruling recognising Bashir Machina as Yobe North senatorial candidate
The Federal High Court's decision to recognise Bashir Machina as the APC's candidate for the Yobe North Senatorial District in the 2023 elections has been appealed, according to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The President of the Senate, Senator Ahmed Lawan, reportedly stated on Thursday that he had accepted the verdict and would not appeal.

Less than a day after Lawan made a different statement, Yobe State APC Chairman Mr. Mohammed Gadaka declared that the party would appeal the ruling.

Gadaka claimed in a statement released on Friday that Lawan is the genuine APC candidate for the Yobe North Senatorial District election, as acknowledged by the committee's National Working Committee (NWC), which is chaired by Sen. Abdullahi Adamu.

Gadaka noted that the party has a duty to protect and sustain Lawan’s 23 years of exemplary sojourn as a lawmaker, his impeccable record of leadership, patriotism, and commitment to making Nigeria work.

He said: “We are aware of the Wednesday, September 28, 2022, ruling of the Federal High Court in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, with respect to the forthcoming Yobe North Senatorial District election.

“However, we respectfully reject the decision of the President of the Senate, His Excellency Senator Ahmad Lawan, accepting the judgment of the court which disqualified his candidature and participation in the election.

“In exercise of our legal rights, the Yobe State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has decided to appeal the Federal High Court ruling in the interest of Yobe State, Nigeria and good governance.”
